subject: We want a better bios for 8kta3+

and copy paste the following text


request to a new bios update of the epox 8kta3 & 8kta3+
with these changes


- Disable RAID

- more settings for VCore 1.10v to 1.85v

- Negative adjustments for VAgp and VIo (to compensate if the actual voltage
is a bit higher)

- Jumperless KBPower on

-changing fsb 100mhz to 133mhz without the need for a jumper like it can be done
with bios 8kt30c12

- more memory timing adjustments through bios , exemple : 2/2/2 , Dram read latch delay , memory drive
strenght , etc

-reg 52 changed so the cpus can reach the lowest temp at idle

- Software BIOS flashing from Windows.

- Assign A: to IDE zip drive or CDROM if wanted (I hate floppy drives)...

-changing the memory adress drive strenght from 16ua to 24ua when using more than 2 dimms
(wpcredit 6D with setting 3b changing it to 5f)
it will make all the diference in the world in terms of stability (and
overclockability)
when using 2 dimms or more (TO ME THIS IS THE MOSt IMPORTANT SETTING)



I suggest Epox follow our request to make a better bios for the 8kta3 series
so you get happy customers that recomend the motherboard for a very good support on the part
of epox and then their next DDR motherboard for Athlon and so on be an Epox motherboard

Good luck getting Epoz to do anything for you
