You will need to download the flash application, check further
down on this page, along with the BIOS mod of your choice.
Check in from time to time for re-modded BIOS files or newer BIOS
revisions. I re-mod them when errors are reported or if there are certain
settings that has proven to be troublesome inside BIOS. I believe that I have all Abit motherboards with hpt 366,
370/370A/372 and 374 covered, but perhaps not all of the official
BIOS files are the most recent?
You may remind me then.
IF YOU DOWNLOAD
AND SUCCESFULLY FLASH AN UNTESTED BIOS FILE, REPORT IT TO ME! Send it to: paltrude@yahoo.com.
Thank you for using my BIOS mods!
And a special thanks to Tmod for taking the time to test some of my mods
and for being such a nice guy all the time.

All
files are modded after chipset recommendations which means that: |
*
those that has HAL = "APIC 1.4 - [ACPI] - enabled by default" has ACPI
> APIC 1.4 enabled but ACPI can be disabled from within the BIOS. |
|
*
those that has HAL = "[APM] / ACPI disabled by default." has ACPI
disabled but it can be enabled from within the BIOS. |
|
*
All BIOS files, where applicable, are modded to have the latest to date
MS and GNU supported Highpoint BIOS. |
|
*
All files are also modded to reserve Irq 5 [denying your OS to occupy
it] since it is often used virtually by newer soundcards for emulating
older soundcards. |
|
*
All BIOS files, where applicable, are modded to unlock PCI Ratios and
Bus Frequencys, Multipliers, FSB : AGP : PCI = 6:2:1, CPU speeds, L3
Cache, DRAM Voltages and more for those who are Overclocking. |
|
|
All
files are also modded to disable: |
1.
Video BIOS Shadowing |
|
2.
System and Video BIOS/RAM Cacheables |
|
3.
Both Serial Ports. [You may disable the LPT yourself if not used] |
|
Let´s
face it, it´s the 21th century... How many out there are using
anything in need of these today??? |
