NOTES: I have unlocked other menu as well. Please be careful with it. If your computer doesn't boot after changing something in the sub-menu, you will need to disconnect the CMOS/RTC battery to reset CMOS back to default. To do so, you will need to open your notebook casing.

Please make sure your notebook can recover corrupted BIOS with CRISIS disk before flashing BIOS with this modified BIOS image. I will not responsible for any problem. Good luck.

in advanced menu the "i/o device configuration" missing and
in advanced/workaround control sub-menu the "intel amt function" missing also.

Do you know if i can change the fsb and cpu ratio ?

Anyway thanks you

The "I/O Device Configuration" only contain serial & parallel port configurations. It missing because your computer don't have this function anyway (there is a subroutine which responsible to this). As for the "Intel AMT Function", it missing because of the same reason. Your computer most likely is not AMT-enabled computer. I can forced them to show by patching the subroutine but I don't think they will be useful anyway. If you want me to mod another BIOS to make them visible, let me know.

The FSB overclock depend on what PLL clock generator your computer have. Different computer have different PLL chip. That's why for overclock, software/tool like SetFSB is the best solution. Regarding CPU Ratio, you'll need extreme edition processor. Only extreme edition processor have unlocked multiplier. If you have extreme edition processor, you can overclock by using software like ThrottleStop.

Do you know if i can use instead of T7200 cpu the T7300, same 2GHz but the T7200 is 667MHz fsb and the T7300 800MHz. I put the T7300 but laptop didn't post.

Thanks you

T7300 CPU is for Santa Rosa platform (chipset 965PM/GM) while T7200 is for Napa platform (chipset 945PM/GM). You can't use T7300 on Napa platform.
