    Here is a tip, if you want to see what new options are available in the BIOS without flashing it:

    1. Download AMIBCP3.37:
    http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=52;t=000004

    2. Rename the BIOS file to "*.rom" (without the quotes, * represents anything).

    3. Open the bios with AMIBCP.

    4. Click on the setup config tab.

    5. Browse the folders on the left to see what options are available.

    *do not mod the BIOS with this tool and flash it*
    *this tool makes the BIOS corrupt, read up on BIOS modding before trying to mod your BIOS*



    EDIT: I looked at the latest one for the GT627, no new bios options.
