i have pc 133 cas3, when i set to "auto" it sets at pc100 cas 2 w/ 4 way interleave, if i set manual to cas3 133, it will not enable 4 way interleave. And get this i get better sandra scores w/ it at 100 cas2 and 4 way interleave than at cas 3 133 no 4 way. Now how do i set to 133 and 4 way. i am using the overclockers power bios version.

HELP!!!!

To force 4 way,you will have to flash the 2.01 bios.It really helps these boards!

I was going to ask the same question. I currently have the 2.0B1 bios...i got off the german MSI site...that was talked about here in this forum a while back. Is this the bios that allows you to run at 133mhz/Cas3 and 4-way interleave ?? I am going to swap out my current PC100 to PC133 in a couple of days and i was wondering whether the board will automatically detect PC133 and run it at 133mhz as well as turning on the 4-way interleave function.

Get the v1.0B14 bios (new overclocker bios) at the taiwanese MSI site and use setting DRAM timing by SPD. It´s forcing 4way interleave and much faster than any manual setting.
Also v1.0B14 is by far the fastest bios.

Be aware though, as my 1G Tbird on MSI K7T PRO2 won't boot with this bios and I am using Crucial 133 CAS 2 that I have tested to work CAS 2 at 142MHz and more. Haven't got a clue what the problem may be but with BIOS 1.9 I am running happily at 1150MHz..

No English menus from the link above.

I cannot tell a hint of difference between my old 1.8 and the 2.1B1....
