He reprograms, to improve, a regular BIOS with hex file testing to a degree I've never seen before. The impression i got was that he's a rare beast...a level headed overclocker!!! I read a lot of posts to get a better picture before trusting a bios flash to a man i don't know and read only good so trusted him and flashed with his version of the Ami-BIOS for this board. He put extra options on the screen (most i dont touch) but importantly, added the overclocking options on a simple menu. My whole system seemed to run much more smoothly with very few crashes at all, probably one every few months if that. If you've got a K7S58 then give it a try. I think the latest version is still something like 28/12/02 and has been on my system since two days after its release.

    Whats with the new Catalysts being 3.10?
    3.8, 3.9, 3.10

    **Isn't 3.10 = 3.1?

    Someone explained this in a post a while back, the numbers in the Catalyst driver names arent in sequential order.

    The three stands for 2003 and the .10 signifies the tenth driver release of the year.

    At least i think its something like that

    Yeah, I'm buying a K7S5A Pro, and I wanted to know if that Honey X added stablity. Right out of the box I have to flash my BIOS (old BIOS revisons won't see the Duron 1.6 properly). And since I am flashing the BIOS, I might as well see if I can get one with O/C'ing features. Theres another BIOS I could use, but I forget the name. I might have to check that one as well.

    Bob....here's the forum page.

    http://pub140.ezboard.com/fk7s5amotherboardforumfrm6

    There's info, testimonials from other users and somewhere, i got an iso file to burn to cd. The cd is then bootable and contains the latest image to flash with. The version I have seems to be the lst one he did which is 09/12/02 but like I said, it's been in my system for a year now and stability is rock solid with an overclocked Athlon.

    Have a read around the forum is your best bet...from a lot of time I've spent there lately, I do remember reading that the mobo does support the new processors such as the Barton but the BIOS isn't configured for their higher multiplier ratings....therefore, anyone trying to use them with the K7S5A will have to software mod the multiplier or do a wire jumpoer trick but you'd be better off reading more yourself to find out exactly what's going on!

    Yeah, I will just spent about $5 more for a XP 1700+ and avoid all the confusion (and gain some performance).
