Hidden Asynch Settings In Revision E AMD64 CPUs

Thanks to OCworkbench for the heads Up!

Anandtech has put out an article on "AMD Motherboards: Processor Support". Among all the details is one little bit of information that no one seems to have picked up until now.

" It should also be mentioned that AMD has implemented a hidden feature in Revision E processors, namely additional memory ratios that can be implemented in BIOS. We saw a Revision E chip mounted on the Abit Fatal1ty AN8 motherboard. Adding the new processor gave the additional options of 433, 466, and 500 to the available memory ratios. This has to be coded in the BIOS to be available, but the new asynchronous ratios are a feature of the Revision E Memory Controller. "
