Haven't tried it yet but here http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=203957



Model: EP-4PCA3+
BIOS: 4PC33819.BIN (9D00)
Date: 08/19/2003
Fixed:
1) Solved Power button can’t work when Load Fail-Safe Defaults.
2) Added advance SCSI BBS support for SCSI device boot selectable.
3) Solved the failure of installing Win98SE with some 80GB HDD. (such as, Seagate 80GB or HITACHI 80GB)
4) Improved "Aggressive_Memory_Mode" memory bandwidth when the item set on "MAX".
5) Solved Vcore voltage showed wrong when decreasing the voltage value.

Have to use Awdflash-V8.24F, I got error message(Bios is not Awardbios????)when useAwdflash-V8.23J.

Max Vcore still 1.6V on BIOS and 1.545V real.
previouse 1.475-->1.62x, 1.45--->1.7V are disappeared.
I need 1.62V to 1.64V for my 2.4C to over 3.9G.

So I back to 3707.bin.

well i just updated to this bios using Epox's windows utility and it went flawlessly, unfortunately i can confirm i lost the 1.45v -> 1.68-1.71v vcore option now max is 1.6v bios = 1.53v in windows but the vdimm voltages seem to have been fixed to not to undervolt as much before 2.9v bios was 2.86-2.91v now it's like 2.9-2.92v

reason i'm trying this bios is reports is that memory bandwidth performance has improved considerably..
