Hi all, The last two bios for the abit KT7133A mb, mention some PCI stuff and a possible fix for the soundblaster live problems... would that have anything to do with the south bridge problem?? here is the writeup on the last two bios's.... Filename: KT73C.EXE Date: 06/11/2001 ID: 3C NOTE: HPT370 RAID BIOS version 1.11.0402 Attention !!! Since bios 3C includes HPT bios 1.11, you may need upgrade your HPT370 driver before flashing the bios. When you upgrade your bios from ZT to 3C, we highly recommend you backup your system to an independent storage device first. This is because the new HPT 1.11 bios can not keep the old configuration. This means you may need to rebuild your RAID system. Therefore, you may lose RAID-0 data when you update the bios from old version to new one. For RAID-1 user, please press "CTRL+H" to enter hpt370 setup screen and do "Duplicate Mirror Disk " to recover RAID system. Filename: KT7ZT.EXE Date: 05/11/2001 ID: ZT NOTE: Adds three new options to enhance the system compatibility - Delay Transaction -PCI master read -PCI master time-out Sets above options to Disabled/0 and may help SB Live 5.1 sound issue. If the system experiences low performance after these settings, enable the"PCI master read caching". Fixes the Athlon 1.3G(100) wrongfully being recognized as 104x12.5. Adds an option "State after power failure". Sets all four IDE devices to " AUTO". Sets the default year to 2001. rgds Frank
