I have bios version v02.58 and i can only see my ddr400 memorys at 200mhz. And change to 250mhz in bios? Is there a newer bios version?
I forgot that 400mhz memorys really are on 200mhz. Do it exist any mod bios to this board?

Do you have a copy of BIOS for the motherboard?

[Oldschool297]

Yes i have. I checked in my Bios it seems to be AMIBIOS Version: 0303 Build date: 10/25/05. American Trends. Version 02.58 stands in the main bios.

And I don't have it. Mind sharing a dump so I could reveal its hidden potential if any?

  AH10303.zip (Size: 416.55 KB / Downloads: 2)   Looks to be it. it's from a system called the Asus Vintage AH1.
https://www.asus.com/supportonly/vintage...desk_bios/ is where this is from.
max of 4GB, single-core CPU support only, Radeon XPress 200 IGP chipset. not the most stable of chipsets.
Oldschool297, if you come back across this post, I heavily recommend repasting your chipset heatsink as soon as possible, from prior experience the XPress 200 runs quite hot and is prone to dying if the paste is dry. Had it on an MSI board way back. Also be wary that it's very picky about what RAM you shove in so any modifications you make to unlock memory overclocking may not work well in your favor.

The most notable features that can be unlocked in this BIOS are CPU multiplier and FSB control.

Thanks i thought that this board supported a dual core processor? Or is it only another models of this board? I have a Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 512mb in the pcie at the moment. I have 4 Kingston memorys and they are suited as cl. I got 4.7 in windows experience index. Higher then when i used 2 1gb memorys. Only 3.7.
