orion,
you said in an earlier post that you could disable PAT/GAT in the bios. In bios 13 I cannot find a way to disable it. You can set everything to auto under GAT, but that doesn't disable it according to cpu-z-118c. I also read that running anything besides 1:1 disables GAT, but when I choose 4:5 (my only other choice with a 2.4B besides SPU at 533 strap) cpu-z still tells me performance mode is enabled. Did I miss something somewhere else in the bios?
I have read about some people are flashing back to bios 13b1 or 13b3 to disable PAT and get better memory bandwidth. I have never flashed backwards..is that risky or no big deal? One final question in the beta bios zip there are only 2 files (the .BO3 file and the awdflash), but when I flashed from the original (10 I think) to 13 there was an ABITFAE and a runme file...do I need those to flash back to one of the betas. Thanks. Sorry for the questions that I am sure are old hat for most around here. New at this flashing backwards stuff....
