What's the good word on that SSE BIOS?

[Killbat]

I've been hearing that sometime before the end of this month, Epox will release a new BIOS that activates SSE for Palomino CPUs on the 8K7A. Is this true? What's the word on a release date?

Bump?

I thought the newer bios's already supports the Palomino?

The June BIOS supposedly has support for some SSE instructions with full support coming in July or so we were told. There is a 7-11 BIOS on the Holland website but I don't know if it provided this support or not. (Beware of the 7-6 BIOS as it was for the non+ version of the board only and if you flash the + version you die)

though the new bios at epox said it had sse support for the new palomino, pabster had confirmed through epox themselves this is not the case and there would be an update...


I am alittle pissed when companies state something that isn't true...epox get the sh*t together. From those statements at their site many were led to belive and promote the epox 8k7a as fully palomino supported (except the obvious diode temperature thing).

So what, the 8K7A will never have SSE support, or they just haven't released the appropriate BIOS yet?
