My current asus P3V4X bios is 1.05.

I once tried an sblive in this motherboard and it didn't work.

Also the sound crackles.

I wonder if bios 1.06_04 solves any of these problems ?

Unfortunately the zip file contains no information about what is new or
fixed etc ?

1006__04.zip <- that's the one...

Is it safe/good ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

Hey, did you write those UDP test programs? I think I've used one at
some time.

Anyway, back to the SBLive, these boards have serious PNP problems at
times and will work properly only in particular slots (sometimes only
1 slot) in a mobo and often times only if they the sole possessor of
their own interrupt. I've fought with mine at least 3 times when
moving it into a new mobo. The sound quality of the board prompts me
to voluntarily endure suffering to get it working when installed in a
new mobo. Most of the problems with the SBLive appear to emanate from
its design flaws and inability to work in all PCI slots, imho.

Have a look at this thread if you want to get a good laugh concerning
the pain and suffering required in my last SBLive encounter, lol.

Has a long discussion from p3v4x owners re issues. the latest bios was only
cpu related the stutter might be helped by georges utilities mentioned in
the thread tho i was running a sb16 at the time.

search the forum i know we discussed the issue in detail back in 2001
