i skimmed through the topic a bit, have a few questions:
how reliable is the 'a' bios (2.0a is the latest i guess), i opened the readme and as expected not in english; is there anyway to boot into dos without a floppy, or is my best bet just burning the iso and booting it from there?
i want to overclock it, for my p4, i just changed the multiplier and didnt do anything for the ram, and it was stable, for this mobo, i oced my e4400 from 2.2 to 2.4ghz, it seemed stable, but when i tried 2.8ghz it didnt boot and i had to take out the battery, i'm guessing that i have to do the ram timings (which i dont really know anything about) but there's no option for that there, would the 'a' bios solve this? (i have 2x1gb ocz ddr2)
also, about the pci-e 4x limitation, how much of a performance drop is it from 16x to 4x? i'm thinking of getting a 8800gt but if there's a huge performance dive, i dont think i'll bother (i have 1650xt right now)
my main concern is getting speedstep working, i dont see why asrock doesnt have this implemented when a custom bios got it working
