GA7N400Pro2 ?Revision Number?

[Guest]

Those who have revision 1 or revision 2 of this board - is it silkscreened
on the board next to "GA-7N400 PRO2?" How do I find the revision? is there a
serial number breakdown somewhere I need to access? Did Fry's just dump a
bunch of old stock and I fell for it? TIA!

I have this board, Pro2,ver 2. It has the clear jumper and the bios is F5.
Haven't upgraded yet. It's running so nice I don't want to mess with it. The
gigbyte raid chip has IT8212 printed on it. The raid ini file references
that chip. The SATA driver is SIL 3112. The manual lists the driver as
3112/3115. I don't see anything on the board about the ver. #, of course
it's tough to look when installed. In reference to ram, I have two double
sided 512 sticks in the orange slots and the dual memory works. Not sure
about using all four.

A couple of ways to check for Ver 2.

1) Does it have a jumper to clear the BIOS? Ver1 did not.
2) The ver.1 BIOS identifiers started with Fx. This BIOS is F5 and the newer
is F6 etc.
3) Not positive on this one, but I think the Gagaraid chip went to the ITE
3114 and ver.1 used ITE 3112.
