I flashed it to the newest one now with asus update, and now its rock solid at 4ghz again!

Usually I use Flash drive, but today im tired, so I didn't care for it and took a risk to flash with Asus update ****..

I still have a floppy drive in my PC, all it gets used for any more is flashing BIOS, Mother board and video card ( I will not be flashing my 285 )

I havent used a floppy since 1999 I think lol
I have a floppy here somewhere though, but where to get diskettes?... hmm..

I hate that this board doesn't have the in-built flashing software like my Gigabyte UD3P had, then I could just put the bios on a flashdrive and go into bios, and there I could flash perfectly well! Flashing using prog's often lead to many problems, so I really felt bad when using Asus update now lol

I have never seen a flash tool in this bios? Where can I find it?

the Asus website. Find the P5N-D then go to downloads, pick your operating system. It is in the Utilities tab (not the BIOS Utilities) name is ASUS update. Download install and follow directions. I have always flashed mine that way and its worked like a champ

nice, thanks for the tip guys

I have a question

I have got 4 gigs of ram
i bought another 4 gigs to go 64 bit

but the timing written on them is different
the ones i have have
5 5 5 12

the ones i just got has
5 5 5 18

will this affect anything or cause instability?


i installed this on my 32 bit to make sure its good before i upgrade

go4life

its not good to mix different types of ram, it can cause instability!
Also, what do you need 8gb for? And a third thing, when using all the ram slots, you get less overclocking too!
