Hey guys I downloaded the newest version of the ti 200 gainward bios lastnight and when I flashed it it limits your overclocking! It sets the default speed to 175 core and 450 mem but only lets you go up to 220 core! Can anyone tell me an advantage of this new bios or give me the old one? The new one is 3.20.00.26 and the old one is 3.20.00.20. Can anyone send me the old bios!???
Thanks!

DOH, no PM. OK, here it is...

Go here for a BIOS editor.

Next, install it and open up the BIOS that gainward provided with the BIOS editor. Click on the initialization tab and change ever GPU speed to 200 (which is what it was, originally). I guess you have to change every entry because you have no idea which entry is actually being used (?). Anyway, save the changes and re-flash your BIOS with the BIOS you just "hacked." Coolbits will once again allow you to ramp the speed up to 250MHz, and you'll be booting at the stock 200MHz core.
