    Hello,
    I downloaded it, and installed.
    Didn't feel any changement. It works good.

    I have just one remark and two questions.
    Today this Bios seems to be no longer available for download...
    Is someone who guess why???

    And, is it write inside this Bios which CPU we should be able to use or not?
