Hm.. I've always flashed using WinFlash. There's no difference between that and the floppy method suggested by MSI, right? I guess I'll flash again and see what happens. I'll post the results in a little bit.

BTW this is under win2k. Might make a difference
 
Sweet. Reflashed the official 1.9 and the USB2 option in the bios reappeared. It wasn't that I needed the extra usb speed, but it was annoying how the message would popup every time I used my thumbdrive. 😛 Thanks guys!
 
Nope....not yet...My bios I am running the 1a.3 was actualy a leaked version of the official which is the one you are linking...I downloaded the rev2 of this bios just now..i will let you know how it works...
 
have they made a bios yet that has proper, real voltage options? like you choose what you want and thats what it is?
 
That will never happen cause the mobo undervolts and can so slightly different from board to oard...

I can tell you even the official 1A bios still does not have working vcore with X2 unless you use the overvid %'s...I ca n set 1.45 to 1.55v and it will not change my vcore...If I eave it at auto to about 1.425v it will set it about .05v lower then settnig it above 1.45v...It is weird....I set it to 3.3% and it changes...

So what I do is set it to 1.5v in vid options and this helps to erase the .06v undervolting then play with the overvid percentages

10% overvid gives me 1.504v idle to 1.528v load.....10% of stock 1.35v would be around 1.485 so not far off..
8.3% gives me 1.456v idle and 1.488v load.....8.3% of stock 1.35v is 1.462....pretty damn close...
5.0% I think gave me 1.42v or so...5% is 1.417...agian pretty spot on...
3.3% 1 think I wa sgettning like arouns 1.36-1.37....1.39v would be 3.3% so not far off...

set to auto with no over vid adjustment I get 1.296v...with is 1.35v with undervolting of .06v

I think I do...reports on the !a was the bios issue with USB devices it seems 1B solves....I dont use USB 2.0 items but I will upgrade the bios now...
 
I decided to update to the 1.B0 bios, since i can do that thru LiveUpdate (my floppy is still not working).

I was under the impression that it would give me an additional couple dividers (i was interested in the 150 one).

But no. Instead, it gave me a world of hassles.

From AT's reviews, i have gathered that nForce 3 mobos have the best RAM performance at TRAS 10, unlike nForce4, etc.

But apparently, this new bios doesn't like that, so eventually, i figured that out, & was able to get back into Windows @ TRAS 7.

Also, half the time when i hit Delete to get into the bios settings, it just hangs at a cursor flashing till i hit the power switch to restart 😕

I wish i hadn't switched bioses, since till i get around to determining what's wrong with my floppy, i can't flash back.

Seriously, i used to love my Neo2, but it's f*ckin' b*tch to get workin' right...
 
T tried that also, and couldn;t even get the delete to get me into bios 99% of the time ! I went back to 1.9, works fine.

I ran into that once in about 15 boots..

No big deal since I have it sitting pretty right now..
