Does it fix the 255 ceiling for memory at 1:1? Don't see that mentioned.

since it doesn't mention the fix i doubt they actually fixed it as they would say so..

half my benchmarks went faster and the other half went slower.
stability is not better then v14 for me.
(could be worse but i didnt bother checking)

im gonna stay on 14.

I loaded 16 but haven't run any benches yet.

according to OPPAINTER the 16 bios for IC7 doesn't fix the >255mhz 1:1 memory limit bug :(

If you are running a Raid 0 off the ICH5R with true SATA drives from Maxtor----bios 1.6 will not detect your array.

Flash back to 1.5----all is well.

Major bug and Abit has been informed----they told me today "they are working on it.".
