BIOS Updates forum

back on the track ... I collected some wisdom (mainly ready som spec sheets). It seems that the BX hostcontroller is wrongly prorammed (i.e. non ECC mode) by the Bios. The 440 Bx has (As far as I understood) three modes:: Non-ECC, EC und ECC. Switching between the two first-mentioned states is done ...

Well there´s only the option:
"DRAM Data Integrity Mode: Non-ECC / ECC"
I enabled ECC mode.

Hope this answers your question.

Bios is an Award 4.51pg Dual Bios
Main Boot Bios is patched F5D.
Backup Bios is F4.

[quote="ajzchips"]I remember some boards' BIOSes that would disable ECC (usually a bug) when exceeding a certain amount of RAM (i.e. 512MB), even if set to ENABLED in BIOS.[/quote] Wow fast reply ! Could you give me an example of an BX Board with this prob ? So what should I do now ? Is there a way ...

Hi folks ! It´s me again. I´m a proud owner of a Ga-6BX7+ Board (with 440BX as you know).

Could you give me a quick clue on how to excactly unhide options with modbin ? Is it just setting the values to "enable" ? I just can'...

Hi 1. Can one merge Bios-Options of 2 different 440BX-Boards (both Award 4.51PG) ? Let's say one is a Gigabyte 6BX7+ and the other an EPOX-BX7+100. One Bios (Epox) has the Option to set the AGP-Aperture Size while the other hasn't. Could one patch this Option in the Gigabyte-Bios ? If yes how ? (Sof...
