Anyone know if the Rev 1.02 with a BIOS change will run the x2 range?
Nothing on the Asus site yet that I can find.

Thanks.

not sure but it might do. on asus site the A8V deluxe does support the
64 X2. Only the boards with Via 890 chipset dont.

http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/chipsets/display/20050603042038.html

and last part reds

"From VIA K8 chipsets only K8T890 is affected, K8T800 and K8T800 Pro do
support AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors," Mr. Lisiecki added.

Yes thanks, I missed that, its listed under A8V Deluxe in the product
specification, but not under the list of CPUs/BIOS's for the MB, where I'd
looked. So there may be a chance but I suspect Rev 2 only.

Thanks Gilles. There's more information appearing all the time. I'm
using BIOS 1013.007 beta at present. But what about Revision 1.02? Can't
find that yet.
