Hello,
Last nite I flashed the bios of my old BH6 mobo since I need to install my new 60GB HD and the original FL bios doesn't support large HD's, I updated to the SS revision (it's a BH6 v1.0)
The flashing went through with no trouble, but after rebooting I noticed a few things:
- The memory test doesn't works the way it was before, in fact I don't think it's executing at all, because it passes through the ram count too fast.
- I noticed that there are a few newer settings on this bios, particularly with the CAS settings of the memory. With the previous bios version I used to run my PC100 memory with CAS2, but with this new bios if I pick CAS2 the system becomes unstable and eventually crashes, so I'm currently using CAS3. Why can I use CAS2 as before?. Also, what are these new values of CAS to RAS, CAS Precharge and Precharge Control, those values didn't existed on my previous BIOS version.
- Processor L2 Cache Latency: another new value for me, currently using DEFAULT, any suggestions for a P2-450 ?
- KBC Clock: don't have a clue also, using the default 8mhz
Any comments will be welcome.
Thx,
PalmDrac
