v. 5.7 273 kb AMD Award BIOS 4/6/2004

1. This is Award BIOS release.
2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- Adds for Support Write ROMSIP use 4K in 2M/16,8,8,32 ROM.
- Adds for Support Write ROMSIP use 4K in 4M/64K ROM.
- Reduces much time to update ROMSIP with 4M flash bios.
- Verifies flash data after romsip update and will update data again if
flash data error occurs
Note: This BIOS cannot be used on K7N2 Delta-ILSR(MS-6570-030).

Does this help?

Yes it does, that 6.00 is the Phoenix-Award type of BIOS, I have 6.00
though my BIOS version is 3.9. If you flash from 5.6 to 5.7 you'll
still have Phoenix-Award type 6.00.

Which begs the question, how many people have flashed their BIOS over and
over because the version didn't change? Lol...

I don't know about faster, but it sure settled down the boot probs I was
having. Damn thing wouldn't start up right after flashing to 5.6, then I
went to 5.7 and Walla! All is well in the universe.

I saw this. I thought it also said it modified timing for DR400.

Is it right that all the things about ROMSIP only affect flashing the BIOS?

Sorry to be a tool. . . but what is the benefit to flashing your BIOS? I
have the K7N2-L Delta, and have had no problems with it from day one, minus
a sound issue which I blame on my low Power Supply. So what's the point??

Well, for starters, look at the post above.

If everything's working the way its supposed to then there's no reason.
If your RAM won't work and a BIOS update will fix it, then do it.
I'm sort of a guy who updates just for the hell of it, but even I
avoided the latest BIOS for my board 'cause it really does nothing (its
designed to fix the video bios on boards with IGPs, which mine doesn't
have.)
