I am running the 1010 bios now and it seems the same except I
had to use the "+" key to adjust it to "User Defined" so I could
lower the cas from 2 to 2.5. Still no A1 or A2 .
My board is a refurbished 1.01 revision board that is read as a
"2.xx" board by wcpuid. The northbridge looks brand new, too.
I'm wondering if your A7N8X-E is a refurbished board also?
