    Question Asus P5W DH - A question about the BIOS version

    Hi,

    Can anybody inform me if the Asus P5W DH motherboard is using the latest BIOS revision (which is 0801 I think - I could be wrong) and if not what version it is using?

    Can anybody also claim to know if it works fine with Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX memory modules set to 4-4-4-12? The last time I checked the Corsair website did not have the Asus P5W DH listed in their compatibility checker (though I believe they did have the older versions of the motherboard).

    EDIT - I am aware that motherboards with the P965 chipset and the AWARD BIOS (especially Gigabyte and Abit) do have problems with running memory 4-4-4-12 (I hear they set the CAS to 3 in a lot of cases). Ideally I wanted to go for the Gigabyte DQ6 but I think I will settle on this Asus board instead.

    If this helps, I bought a p5w-dh on saturday from scan, nipped down and picked it up with a e6600, the bios it comes with is 0701 and works with conroe and allendale core 2 duo cpu's. I upgraded to 801 and now 1101.

    I run ocz pc6400 at 4-4-4-12 at there rated speeds so everything is good.
