ABIT AS8 Core Duo E6XXX support (similiar ASROCK at i865 has it)

Hi All!

I have noticed that ASROCK released i865 board *VERY SIMILIAR* to ABIT
AS8 with Core 2 Duo support. Please take a look below(i865,5xPCI,1xAGP,DDR):
http://www.asrock.com/product/ConRoe865PE.htm
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...es=1&model=191

Is it possible to ask ABIT to upgrade AS8 BIOS for CORE 2 Duo support?
I bet it must be possible to do it...
Regards.
Mike

notice that the Asrock supports a higher FSB

Notice that in AS8 You can set up FSB up to 400MHz (in 1MHz steps) so
setting FSB to 266 should do the trick(4x266=1066).The board also
supports fixed AGP/PCI 66/33MHz and dividers for MCH in NorthBridge. It
should be possible to tweak this board for Core 2 Duo.
