Lucky Star Website has been dead for a VERY long time.

Does anyone have a BIOS update BIN file and SETUP to go with it ?

Although the board runs fine, benchmarks show the startup highlighted PC133 memory to be running slower than PC100 memory :(

This is a handy place for Lucky Star BIOSes:

There's only v1.1 BIOS for the P4A845S board. You have newer BIOS...

As Rainbow says that's later than previously known, would you like to save, zip and email that to a couple of us for the archives ?

Is your memory speed set to Auto in the CMOS shipset setup ? If so, I wonder whether the 133 isn't recognised and has been set to a default setting. Standard PC-133 should be usable as CAS=2 PC-100, but you may have to set it manually.
