P4P800 1019_5(beta bios) is better than 1016

all,

Believe it or not, the beta 1019_5 bios is actually better than the 1016. I was able run my [email protected] stock vcore, dual prime95 stable for 10hrs with 1019_5 bios. Dual prime95 failed within 10 minutes when I was using 1016. Also, I was able to run [email protected] stable with vcore 1.5 on 1019_5 but not 1016.

For those who are not afraid of bios update, you should definitly give 1019_5 a try.

btw, I can't stand the long bootup time for 1018, so I didn't bother test with it.

Asus must be taking a page from ATI's driver update freqency manual... Can we look forward to monthly updates now?
