Crap.I've Flashed 100 bios' on several brands of motherboard in the last 20 years. Not a single one ever went wrong.I blame 99% of bad flashes on user ignorance. Only flash I've ever failed was the USR modem for my BBS back in the early 90's, a call came in in the middle of the process.. man did I ever feel stupid for not thinking about that :X Best Wishes Thomas |

So you agree as well that flashing bioses is very dangerous. The more reason for asus to make sure it's not required. Yet the opposite is true, otherwise no full 4GB support.

2. People with 4 GB of ram want to use all the ram.

You're a dumbass.
1. I have used 4 GB successfully with Windows XP X64 Pro. (64 bit os). What the **** do you think microsoft is using for their huge website ? 2. Dark Messiahs already benefits from 4 GB of RAM. Bye, Skybuck. |

Crap.I've Flashed 100 bios' on several brands of motherboard in the last 20 years. Not a single one ever went wrong.I blame 99% of bad flashes on user ignorance. Exactly. At work I regularly update the BIOS of around 120 workstations and 60 Office PC, and that all over the Network. Not one flash failure so far. And I also update my computers at home as soon as a new BIOS comes out. Never ever went something wrong (I only had one flash failing, and that was a DLT drive that already had a failure before). And even ofor the very unlikely event that something does go wrong during flash, all HP systems at work and at home have BIOS recovery functions. Heck, even my 10 year old Kayak XU has recovery functions. As you say the reason for bad flashes is probably 99% user ignorance and maybe 1% something else (i.e. power outtage, crap hardware, hardware failure, corrupt BIOS file but even that should be avoided by good BIOS flash programs). The retard Sky**** is the living proof that a computer is indeed nothing for everyone and that it requires more than the IQ of an average office plant to handle it. With all his stupid excessive crossposting he also left a very long and remarkable track of incompetence, ingnorance and stupidity. groups.google.com is your friend, Sky**** ;-) Benjamin |

* Robert Baer:
Perhaps you should learn the diference between beans and duckeggs. Your diatribe about flashing is in that category, and i suggest you drop it. A BIOS chip will *NOT* allow anyone to use 4Gbytes of RAM. Yes and no. The BIOS can prevent anyone using the area below the first 4GB of memory if it doesn't support the new memory scheme (often called "memory hoisting" or something like that in BIOS setup). Microsoft has a very clunky and bloated program that purports to support use of 4Gbytes of RAM,and they do not support it. What should that be? FYI: the only Microsoft OSes that support more than 4GB of RAM and that aren't supported any more are Windows 2000 Advanced/Enterprise server, Windowsxp 64bit Edition and Windowsxp 64bit Edition Version 2003 which both are for Itanium. Windowsxp x64 Edition, Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition and Windows Vista x64 (all for AMD64 and intel EM64T/intel 64 processors) off course are fully supported as are the 32bit Versions of Windows Server 2003 that support more than 4GB by using PAE. And you yet have to show what you mean with "clunky". I was using the IA64 versions of WIndowsxp, I'm using Windowsxp x64 Edition since it came out and now I also use Vista x64. Besides the latter with it's own Vista-specific oddities I see nothing "clunky" on them, also not on Windows Server 2003. Other than that, one cannot use 4Gbytes of RAM (with MS OSes). BS. You can't use 4GB of RAM with *any* 32bit OS that doesn't use tricks like PAE to circumvent this limitation. FYI: the reason for that has nothing to do with Windows. It's a hardware limitation. Traditionally, the I/O address range is located below the first 4GB of memory. Depending on what and how much devices like PCI cards are on the system a certain amount (usually somewhere between ~384-700MB) gets reserved by the BIOS for I/O. This I/O space is not available for the operating system. Somewhat modern 32bit OSes like Linux or Windows Server still can use memory over 4GB by using a page switching technology (PAE) which is slow but works. Current 64bit PCs usually have a BIOS that shifts the I/O address range over the upper physical memory allowing a 64bit OS to use the complete physical RAM. But that requires a BIOS that supports the new addressing scheme, and it requires a 64bit OS because only these use flat adressing. The best one can do (and i have tried this) is to have 3-4 Gbytes installed, use Win2K (the leanest MS OS that will recognize over 2Gbytes of RAM) BS. The leanest OS that recognize over 2GB or RAM is WindowsNT 3.1 Besides that, Windows 2000 is EOL'd which means it won't get fixed any more and already starts lack of being supported by programs and drivers. And it takes smoking of a whole lot of **** to believe that Windows 2000 is in any way faster than Windowsxp. AFAIK there is *no* CONSUMER program that uses over one Gbyte of RAM, because damn few consumers have over 512Mbytes; Where do you live, behind the moon? Even entry level PCs already come with more than 512MB of memory, most users probably already have 1GB or more, and gamers usually already own 2GB. And yes, there are lots of programs using more than 1GB. Even standard programs like IE, Firefox, Thunderbird, Office etc. do. Current and even not so current games like Oblivion happily use all of your 2GB of memory. Welcome to 2007. So we are back to beans and duckeggs; you have no need for even 2Gbytes of RAM. This might be true for your (very limited and outdated) little world. Unfortunately reality is different. Beans and duckeggs. Benjamin |

Bye, Skybuck. Oh my God, you don't even know there is a checksum? I am beginning to understand your problem. Everything you say is just a tiny bit inaccurate. You ARE a genius. You must have invented a real Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky bridge. Now you've used it to go here and there and you THOUGHT you've come back to your own reality. But wait, things are not 100% the same! Eproms can be flashed without errors, Asus does make great hardware, stray electricity is a very very rare and minor problem, and powerswitches generally work in this reality. Sorry dude but ehm.. you are in the wrong world! Good luck in finding a way back to yours. Marcel |
