In because im interested to see if this can be safely flashed to retail gigabyte bios. I have the same board with compaq bios. In a nutshell its not a favorable chipset but its highlights its one of the few that can be overclocked to 133fsb. The asus version of this chipset is the most sought after …
Re: Any love for AM2?

Am2/+ can easily be skipped. Early am2 basically 939 refresh on ddr2 and then later better binned but still behind intel. I went from 939 to am3. Phenom ii was way better. Am3 was my platform until intel haswell. Never looked back.

Sis 645/dx unofficially supports ddr400. With the same board i managed 192/384 i was overclocking a pentium-b/533 2.8 and 3.06. The secret sauce to a sis645/dx is to run a high multi p4-a/400fsb and try to stay before 133fsb/533. Because for some reason when you use 533 fsb that memory divider it …

Any more information on this board in general. Having a hard time finding any info on rev 2.3 . Wondering if they fixed rev 2.2 issues with 100fsb. Has a 5 ns onboard cache so should be enough.
