Here are the Über 1003 BIOS's for Asus A7N8X series mobo's 1.04 to 1.06 only. Not for use on revision 2.0!
These are based on the Asus 1003 series bios build. This bios seems to have some issues with regards to 200/400 fsb so if you are experiencing these issues I recommend you go back to the 1002.A1 release Über bios which is http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtop ... highlight=

These have all the disabled 'power user' options re-enabled plus more
1)This revision has more AGP voltage and Q-fan options to select.
2)There are also more options for the UART2 connector like 'smart card' and 'ASKIR'.
3)Also the AUTO mode for the printer port IO/IRQ allocation has been made selectable.
4)S3(STR) is now selectable for option 'ACPI Suspend to RAM'.
5)Additional Power On By PS/2 Keyboard/Power On By PS/2 Mouse options are available.
6)2.9V is now available in the DDR Reference Voltage selection choices.
7)1.8V is now available in the AGP VDDQ Voltage selection choices.
Updated SiliconImage Sil3112A BIOS to v4.2.12. (SATA enhanced Über only) Please ensure that you update Serial ATA driver to 1.0.0.28.

** Before you go a flashing make sure you have a recovery disk ready to get you back to a stable rig if the flash goes bad. **

Please download winimage from www.winimage.com and then use it to write this bios boot disk to a floppy. It has the exact files and settings on it that Asus recomned to fix the bad flash. I have tested it and it works 100%. You can use this to recover your board from a bad flash.

I take utterly no responsibility for you rendering your board unbootable by using this bios, in fact I take no responsibility for any of your actions at all

Also thanks to the efforts of the Über bios beta testers, without their feedback this project would be nowhere as solid.

A version for the V2.0 mobo's is still in testing and will be posted as soon as it clears the beta phase. All the voltage options, appart form the 'chipset voltage' option have been verified to work as advertised.

Would you like me to mirror this?

If you want. Its up to you. My ISP can take the pounding ok.

Yup, these 18 or so PCR files will be published as soon as I get most of the good stuff documeted in them. I wanted them done so that I could then use the data to further enchance the Uber bios releases with additional options that Asus don't have in them but the chipset can do.

can wait i have been trying to get my hand on some nforce datasheet but if i can get my hand on some of those registry table (hey a guy can dream)

Is there a non-SATA Uber 1003 for the Deluxe?

[Lord Arawn]

Dem, did you happen to see a way to fix the 200 falling back to 166 bug? It drives me nuts not to have the option to select the so called magical mark. To make things worse Asus doesn't even include an option for 201.

My ASUSUpdate had the file before I could check this forum

Thx.
