V. 0906
I upgraded to 0906 about 6 months ago to try and get S3 power mode to work. Still can't get it to work. Been a problem since I bought the board 1 year ago. Forums suggested a registry and bios fix, but shizznit- nothing has solved it. I also tried updating chipset drivers- nothing has worked. I would caution you (and anyone else) not to arbitrarily update your bios. You really should only update it to relieve a bug and then only if there is strong indication that the bios will indeed fix. I really like my ASUS M2R32-MVP. It has been stable and reliable. Only problem is the S3 power mode disability. Tried tweaking all of the bios settings and have been unable to solve it. Lots of discussions in various forums with some folks getting S3 operational and some not..............
Good luck.
