From what I know, if you are using SDRAM you should enable it.

SDRAM has more than one bank, which alllows one bank to be precharged while the other is being accessed.

Thank you for replying, I do not have a manual for this updated flash, and my original says nothing about it. But i can say i see no diff. if it's enabled or disabled. I guess i will enable! thanks, jim.

Not too much of this on the 'net. Have you tried posting in the motherboard section??

After looking around it looks like the precharge is a DRAM type thing where the storage capacitors are charged prior to use. Might be wrong, but after downloading 4 corrupt zip files from Abit's web site, I was to pissed to continue searching their site for info. What does the manual say about this precharge??
