Need to replace Gateway BIOS with something decent for this MOBO. MOBO has some OK abilities, but Gateway Bios has them locked out. Looking to add RAID 10K Raptors, and would realy like to unlock the overclocking for CPU/MEM/ETC. Have all the ramsinks/fans/laping done for my cooling and can only overclock my ATI X1900XTX.
Yea, I've allready heard " Why, it's a Gateway!!"; Well, I like playing with the underdogs and seeing what I can get them to do. So far only spent $530 for the GT5056, $465 for the ATI X1900XTX, and $180 for 4ea 512MB OCZ GOLD 2,2,2,5 XTC memory, and about $130 for all the cooling (8 fans, fan controller, laping supplies, ramsinks, thermal compound, etc). SO, for a grand total of about $1,450 (w/shipping), this rig was not a whole lot of work, yet.
No need to benchmark yet, it runs real cool and plays DOOM 3 just fine, besides I'm not done playing with it!
Anyone with any info, hints, links to MOBO BIOS, would be helpfull.............Thanks!
