Newer version...higher clocks....tighter mem timings who knows.

The latest 6600GT bios I've seen is 5.43.02.46.01

flashed ok to extreme edition .. seems to be alot better bios.. optimal detect from nvidia is higher now (not that it means my overall highest overclock will increase)..

next i will edit voltages and see what this can really do ..

You generally flash them from a bootable floppy or CD using a flash utility program. atiflash...nvflash...etc. They generally contain the manufacturer info, default clocks, memory timings and the like. Messing with them can be hazzardous to your vid cards health particularly if you don't have a backup plan. If you flash an incompatible bios for instance the card won't display and you'll be stuck untill you can dig up another card to boot with and flash back.
