Try this beta from the german ASUS FTP site, just save as and get it
and try it
The german site allways has the latest bios and everything why is Asus
German ?
Its 1015.033 beta
just make sure you get the right one
and i do
think its newer ?
Hope this helps, have not bothered getting anymore bios upgrades no
point now :0 am thinking of getting a Xp 3200 and a NForce 2 Ultra
board though to see me though MANy years, though my A7v266-e like
yours butonly with a Xp 2400 will do me gine i think before the 64bit
systems take hold and come down in price
and dominate everything.
Hope this works BUB
