Does anyone know what this update does? I am hoping it adds AMD 64X2 support. Also, the download includes a PDF file that says to move a jumper on the mobo prior to flash, or else you will have to RMA the mobo.... WTF?

4 to 3 pin fan connector?

Thanks - but I need clarification. One pin type allows monitoring, and the other speed control, but not both? Which is best for what I want to do (reduce speed when it is just idling, and spin faster when needs to)
