    lol not a surprise it worked fine id get the latest bios as well, 21 has just been released. i personally am on 19 as i cant see any reason for me to upgrade, i think some of the fixes were barton specific

    To upgrade i reccomend Abit Flashmenu rather than going through all that dos carp. It is very reliable program, more reliable than a floppy disk is anyway, on my last abit board floppy drive went tits up mid flash takin the board with it (was during the boot block flashin that it went)

    done every flash since with the windows-based flashbios and its going strong

    Looks like the latest bios is the 18 one.....
    apparently there is a fix related to the Barton 2500+ being detected as a 3200 +

    Which is why some people are avoiding it

    I know I wouldn't mind getting the extra MHz automatically!

    Yeah but when you don't use the user define option in Softmenu III it will use the default setting of 11*200 instead of 11*166 right?

    The one golden rule!
    NEVER flash a bios from a floppy disk!

    As high as you can get it stable of course
    im sure ive heard people using 15*166 before.....

    All this non-200mhz+ clocking is a new thing to me
