The 1002A bios is available, and it offers a 10% or so memory performance increase. I have it linked and posted on...

Nice find. Thanks!

Man...This is my first ASUS mobo and I can't stop loving it. It's too stable to make me bored..NO USB problem at all! woohoo!

I wondered why I bought Abit KT7-RAID before.

Dulanic,

I posted a couple days back about the comment in the vr-zone article that above 138mhz fsb the board resets memory settings from optimal to normal is this problem fixed with this bios revision.

The other thing in that article I was wondering about is that it said that when the fsb was set at 155 the board reset to 150 fsb. Is this also fixed. I'd be interested in your comments, because I have one of these boards on the way.

It was only 155... 156+ works fine, Im unsure if it is fixed. As for the review read the last page again.... he added how to override it (once I informed him). But they did fix it in 1002 so you no longer have to override it... it will let you set it normally.

Just flashed and my memory score went up to 685/679 from 624/612. Second run showed 705/678. Are you suppose to run this 3 times and take an average? I've noticed that my score always jumps the second time around. What's a more accurate reading?

dulanic, my fsb is at 154. anything higher will offset back to 150. example, setting of 155fsb will remap itself back to 150. so 154 is the highest (

Thai what you system setup? I'm just curious because I've got this board coming in the mail.
