Yes it does, but your BIOS doesn't... :'( At first it all looked good, even the modded String was readable for fun and i could enter the BIOS but then there was a very flickering and alltime changing menu under power management, multiple ways to get anywhere and if i went to the bottom of any page it ends in a hung up! A normal boot wasn't working either, it recognized the proc, same with Athlon64 X2 4200+ and Phenom X4 9600 but then after finishing POST it "shut down after a few seconds" because the proc wasn't known anymore! Although, there is no working support for a floppydrive! Maybe we can start the other way round, taking a blank Gateway-BIOS adding the newer AGESA-modules, get them working and then trying to add OC-functions?? I reflashed with the atached BIOS, maybe it helps...

THis BIOS is a retail Abit one with all the right stuff and seems to be what these companies based there's off of (same version #) that hopefully should work. I didn't do any CPU work on it yet, but it should have a stable menu and voltage control etc.

Back in town but quite busy...
TheWiz got mail...
Great work!!
I don't know why or how but it works!
And it works with all Procs I tested, even the more consuming just a bit slower... Phenom 9500 is in standard faster than 9750 with OC!
I do a little more testing and research and then I will try to give you a readable log on this weekend!
