Can someone tell me what's the latest Bios/Driver combo for this board? I am currently using 2.1024/2.1019 respectively. I seem to recall that when 2.31 came out, there were some problems with it and people weren't happy. Did High point fix whatever was wrong with it?

Richard Hopkins has created an "updated" bios with the newer highpoint drivers. While his bioses are reliable.

Thanks Ken,

I already have that one. The 2.31 performance was actually lower than the ones I am currently using. At least for me.

Basically, I am trying to see if there is a moded BIOS with 2.34 High Point, and whether there is a performance difference.

I'm sure I could create a 2.34 bios set for you but my favorite was still
2.0.1203.
 
If it's not too much trouble, I would like to test-drive the 2.34.

What did you like about the 1203? I don't think I've seen the 1203, just the 1204 I am using?

the 2.0.1203 came out just a little while after the 2.0.1024. Not much real difference between the two, if at all.

I'll try to get around to making a 2.34 for you tomorrow.
 
Thanks, no big hurry, whenever you get to it.

Does a guide on how to update bios components like this exist? I'm sure you may have answered this in the past, or Richard has. So if I wanted to insert updated bios components, where do I begin. I know its not a simple matter, I was just wondering if there were any guides.

TIA

it is pretty simple... you just use the CBROM utility, which can be downloaded from the net or my server, and the following commands:

cbrom bios.bin /d (where "bios.bin" is the bios file you are working with) the /d switch tells CBROM to display the contents of the .bin file

cbrom bios.bin /pci insert.bin (where "bios.bin" is the bios file you are working with and "insert.bin" is the bios file [Highpoint in this case] to be inserted. the /pci switch tells CBROM to update the /pci bios insert with the new insert.

that's it.
 
Hey Tom,

Since it's that simple, maybe I will give it a shot in the future, so I don't bother innocent bystanders anymore. Just one question, though. Once you finish with the steps, is there a way to verify the file, or is it one of those things where you better have a bios savior?

no way to verify as such other than to do another CBROM bios.bin /d and make sure that the *new* insert shows. bios saviors were always a must for me and I have one even as we speak on my IC7-G.
 
Okie Dokie?
