Hello. My Acer Aspire 5738 (chipset Intel GM45) originally had bios version 1.18. With it the installed PC2-6400 DDR2 runs at full speed of 800 MHz.
I updated the bios with last version 1.34 and now my PC2-6400 runs only at 667 MHz.
I tried the versions 1.34 1.28 and 1.25 (the only I found on line) and also the unlocked version of 1.34 and 1.28 founded here.
I tried also with an other brand of ram but it runs only at 667 Mhz
I searched online for hours, I didn't find anywhere below version 1.25
I think it's only an Acer marketing move because GM45 supports DDR2 at 800 MHz (as with bios 1.18)...
So I would ask if it is possible please to mod the original version 1.28 (I don't like 1.34) in order to get ram at full speed of 800 MHz
I ask please only this modify. Thank you very much
