BIOS Updates forum

Hello users,

I have Abit vp6 motherboard that has builten raid support. I want's to know about following about my motherboard.
1. will it support tualatin processors in both celeron and pentium?
2. Max support of hard disk(kepp in mind it support ATA100)
i- as primery for windows
ii- as adtional for storge.
3. Max support of memory at 133MHz.
4. will it support Windows Vista?

1) Looks like no Tualatin support with a 2001 Bios
2) probably 128GB native support, maybe more. With the use of Linux, W2K and higher more should be supported via OS even if the Bios detecs only 128/137GB.
3) should support max 512MB per Slot, 2GB in total.
4) no idea

Ok and thanks for reply.

Now i have some trouble that is below.The device connected on raid controller (CD-Rom, DVD-Rom, Hard Drive) dos't appear in OS(Windows XP sp2) although the driver of raid is loaded in device manager (HPT370, high point 370). It is clear that these devices are dected in HPT bios after M.B bios post. I have updated latest bios biosyt.exe from Abit website.

suitable for harddisks only (no opticals) and you need to partition and format a new harddisk before it will show up in windows explorer.
