If you are still on 5.27, you have to unplug the system for 10sec for settings to save. If you check your PM, itll be cleared up a bit. Although, if you have a spare BIOS chip and are able to test, I would be VERY appreciative.

Me too! later that day I will find time to write down my experience, but I prefer to be sure that 2 or 3 others may proof it...
It looks like Im going to have 2 step up as I have this board in one of my systems, but I kinda cracked a small fracture in the bios socket while messing around with chips and am very leery about hotswapping now.

Man I tried overwriting some old bios chips "as backups" I had from other boards "Award chips" no go, But I am willing to try this on my only 1, Before I do I need this answered, My board has 4 ram slots, the Abit m2s has only two, will this matter with the bios?
Also I've been using WinFlash vs booting from floppy, can you post a link to the correct version of AWDflash I'll need just in case I need to do it via bootfloppy. I gotta work today so I may not get to it until later,
Thankz Freddy
Alright gentlemen, Its done bios seems stable, Unable to change cpu voltage, all other options available, currently running my x2 4200 @ 2760mhz, stock volts, so I'm happy.
I used abit windows flash utility to do this.

flashed twice before reboot, all booted norm.
I'll post a screenshot if necessary.
If you tap ctrl F1 or ctrl f2 in bios you hopefully should get some additional updates.
Can you post a link to which BIOS you flashed... I am wondering if you used a different version.

I see some garbled text in the POST, is everything working OK. also, screenshots of BIOS menu. My BIOS chip programmer arrived today so I will be programming my Nettle2 board shortly.

The garbled info is my camera catching data being written, no problem, everything is working great, Lot of pages in bios give me specifics or if ya want them all thats not a prob.
Alright I sent you the bios shots, and 1 of hardware monitor, l8r
