Thanks for the heads-up, Chuck!

I should really get back to new research on BIOS options.

Dr Wong I received your book "The Bios Barrier" at Christmas and i am constantly referring to it for tips and information. When i read the section on Hot swapping i was mortified at the different stages of the process and the potential for what could go wrong at any time. When i had a bad flashing experience I made a floppy msdos disc and wrote an autoexebat file , placed a copy of the flashing program and the bios file on the disc and simply booted the motherboard with the floppy inserted. No risk ,no need for a duplicate bios chip and no potential to damage the motherboard. Brilliant book by the way and thank you.

There are many ways of reflashing the BIOS. Some older BIOSes do not support that method.

Yup, there are many ways of doing it. Personally, I would resort to the hot flashing method as the last resort. If there's an easier method, I would definitely use it. But frankly, the floppy method doesn't always work.

Hot flashing is not that difficult but it requires you to source a working motherboard of the same model. That alone is a hassle that will ensure that most people will not be able to attempt it. But it's certainly a useful technique for techies who know what they are doing.

hello

I'm using an ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe MB,

I have an option in my bios under "Memory_configuration/MCT_extra_timing_mode" called "Burst20pt".

I can enable or disable this option.

What is it?

Sorry, no idea what it means at this time. I really need to start updating the guide.

OK np,

This is a link to my MB manual, you can see the burst20pt setting on the bottom of page 88. Maybe this helps?

Yeah, I've seen it. It's not something I can just tell you right away. It takes time and effort to dig up the details.

Will have to start researching again. Just been so busy with other aspects of the site.
