Asus K8V SE Deluxe (No PCI/AGP Lock)

Can anyone tell me if there is a bios update available which allows the PCI/AGP Lock to be enabled or for the PCI/AGP Divider to work.
The FSB of the mobo will go up to 300 but it's no good as after 225 the AGP/PCI divider doesn't change, therefore putting the AGP/PCI bus way to high which is bad for the chipset/ GFX etc. I was wondering if there is a patch or abios update that will allow this

regards

There's no FSB on this board, only a system clock as a base frequency. Raising the system clock may lead to a too fast HyperTransport so lower the HT-Link multiplier in Bios from 4x to 3x. (Systemclock x HT multiplier = HT speed, this should not exceed 800 Mhz)

AGP/PCI should be locked on these new chipsets or is something different noted in your manual ?

I have lowered the HTT to 3 so that I don't exceed 800Mhz but the AGP/ PCI bus just keeps on going up where it should change when I hit 225. I test it using 'Clockgen'. I can overclock my system clock upto 290 when lowering my HTT to 3x but my AGP is @91 and my PCI is @ 48 which is way to fast (isn't) it. This is why i'm worried. I like overclocking as my old friend 'Kachiwachi' will tell you, so I would like to solve the AGP/PCI thing

Hi old friend, 'long time no speak', it's been a long time since the days of my legendary journey of o/c'ing my K6 (Happy times they were) anyway I have moved on and have now built myself a SKT 754 Sempron 64 2800 on an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe. Don't think much of it at the moment. I'm only scoring 190 on CpuMark 99 :( My old Athlon XP 2800+ would score 225 so the performance of this new pc is poor in comparison. But if I can o/c it stable I should be hitting arond 250 points :D .
Speeak to you soon my friend, I'm off to solve the riddle of my AGP/PCI thing.
