Updating bios in vista 64?
I have no floppy drive and can't seem to find a program to flash my bios that works in vista 64. My m2n-e sli limits my vcore to 1.29 v (cpu-z reading) and that of course limits any sort of overclocking. Maybe the newest drivers have a higher available vcore enabled. Anyone have any experience with this board?

This is AWDFLASH.exe and the bin file I got from Asus' website. The exact error message I'm getting is "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running. Check your system information to see whether you need the x86 or x64 version of this program and contact the software publisher"
__________________I'm running it as administrator and have tried the compatible for XP sp2 mode and that won't work either. Is it possible to do it in dos from a cd or does it absolutely have to be a floppy?

Spot on there mate

EZ Flash 2 can also access your computer's HDD's, although it cannot read the entire disc. Try downloading the latest BIOS.rom file and extract it to your C:/ directory or desktop. You can then reboot, enter your motherboard's BIOS, go into EZ Flash and try selecting the C:/ drive.
I've been able to flash my BIOS with E flash from a BIOS file located on my primary HDD in the past so there's no need for a flash drive.

Hmm, I was looking at the possibilty of modding the bios or just using the bios from the m2n-sli deluxe which allows for higher voltages in core and dimm (1.65 and 2.5 respectively). Anyone have any experience with anything like this?
