Hi guys,
OK...I've got my v2.0 installed, and it's running fine, but I have some issues (not performance)....
On the box, it says v2.0. The sticker on the board says v2.0. I've read an article/review which shows differences in cap placement, and northbridge "appearance" which indicates I have a v2.0...
When I run SiSoftSandra, or any Mad Onion/Future mark program (3D Mark 2001SE, PC Mark 2002), when I look for the board revision in the system specs, every one of them list the board as V1.X.
Is this "normal"?
Also, the BIOS I'm using (right now) is the one that came w/ the board, which shows a date of 3/17/2003. I'm assuming this IS NOT the 1.4 BIOS I'm reading that everyone is recommending.
I'd like to flash to 1.4, but with the various programs showing V1.X, I want to make damn sure I've got a v2.0 before I attempt it.
Here's the question:
HOW can I find/prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my revision is v2.0??
Once I get this sorted out, I'll worry about asking for advice on the CPU/FSB DRAM Ratio in the SMIII...
Thanks a ton in advance!!
