    kinda strange they would put up a new version without significant change logs.... the software engineers must be bored (mayb lol)

    Haha, i downloaded it a small while back and the only diff i've noticed is that it has an icon in the tool tray area and it adds to the battery plans.

    I had already made a post. Anyways, it adds different power plans and removers the VGA enhance. It no longer aggressively OCs the RAM as the prior version did, which goes along to the 901 BIOS update. In other words with 901 and the new version the windows index score for RAM is 4.8 and I believe 5.1 in Game Mode. I put 703(or what ever) back in and I get 4.9 and 5.3. You can use the VGA enhancer from the older version (only seems to work with the DDR2 video car).

    Again, removed VGA enhancer and added Power Plans. Seems to not OC RAM as aggressively as prior version.

    Well, In OC, with the older drivers of Turbo Gear, I got 5.8, I get 5.8 with these as well, but I'm still on the 801 bios.

    I haven't noticed the difference also. I have DDR2 and 401 Bios rev. That is, if the revious version OC the RAM more agressively and the current doesn't, then i have a weaker OC? I have never had any problems with the previous OC.
