Ali: I did not start at 0 frequency. I started from 1500-1600-1700-1800 point where the d²P/df² appears to be flat. And my argument was that the 3x-jump in second derivative can't happen unless BIOS made compulsory configuration changes to something. This argument is not the one you put forth earlier ;-) As for whether or not the jump in performance is "reasonable" to expect from a BIOS upgrade, normally I'd say it were on the high side. However, we are dealing with a very new chipset, the KT333. It's quite possible that they have tweaked the memory timings or solved the reported issues with ATA133 (worked as ATA100 with most hard drives). All that regardless, I don't see that we are necessarily in the frequency region where d²P/df² is approaching zero (again). -fyo
