hello.this could be a long post & hopefully some bios guru`s will answer.i have closely compared these 2 boards at abits website
i845E chipset on both.only hardware difference is it7 has firewire.
i have compared both boards bioses releases,and they are mirrors of each other,same updates to each board but different dates.there is only 1 difference i can find
bd7ii AJ bios-add svid:147b,ssid:7402
it7 A4 bios -add svid:147b,ssid 7406-that is a different value then the bd7ii aj bios of 7402.
the it7 DP bios gives 1.85 vcore & 2.8 vdimm.see where i`m goin.
i have looked thru each bios using modbin,and for all intentions they are the same bios.i have a bios savior which is the only reason i am thinking of tryin this.i renamed the it7dp bios to bd72_dp.bin.would this fool the program & not give me the error of incorrect bios for my board?what is the command line switch used to force a bios flash. f / or something else.in addition to my bd7ii bios,and the bios on the bios savior,i have a spare bios chip purchased from abit.if things were to go south during the attempted bios flash,is there any risk to the board or my OS,xp-pro,or would the damage be restricted to the bios chip.
perhaps this is way out there but thought i would post tihs to see what the feedback is
thnx
