Wind Bios 1.08 (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)

sed8ed · **Posted:** Mon Sep 08, 2008 1:12 am

Although It's not listed on the MSI site There's mention of it here:

http://www.xfastest.com/viewthread.php?tid=13421&extra=&page=1

I cant read the page but I know the zip file is password protected and the poster appears to want you to PM for a password?...(my Babel fish interpretation)...

I definitely know it's 1.08 and may be BETA, anyone else who can read it and maybe translate....

It apparently allows the overclock function...INTERESTING!!

It's very good ,I'm using it now ,overclock just press FN + F10,very easy ,just lost the PGUP PGDN keys function ,but I setup touchpad's tap zones use top left and top right to substitute these two keys, these two keys is very important for me ,becasue I often write chinese input.

What other changes does 1.08 bring aside from the overclocking?

Any other issues aside from the loss of PgUp/PgDn function?

Wait, there is going to be overclocking in the new BIOS update? That seems pretty cool. What are the speeds?

sed8ed · **Posted:** Mon Sep 08, 2008 3:00 am

Is the overclock at software level only?.......Will it work on any other OS?...I know the under clock doesnt work on OSX....but the button still changes colour, confirmed using Coolbook App.

Top overclock will give you 1984 mhz just by pressing Fn + 10 and back to 1600 in an instant if you press again...

Too cool to be true

The power button goes orange

The only thing missing a full screen higher resolution...

Do you lose PGUP PGDN keys function with the new BIOS?

sed8ed · **Posted:** Mon Sep 08, 2008 3:08 am

It's still BETA.....and yes it appears you lose the PGUP and PGDN key function.

Orange button would be cool on my charity edition. :shock:

tomianek · **Posted:** Mon Sep 08, 2008 3:08 am

Yes, not only pgup/down but all function keys.
But fn +Fx works fine...

All Fn below the first row of keys are lost... But who cares?

Well then, they arent function keys?.....do you mean the number keys?...The first row is FN F* keys. The second row underneath those are number keys...

Care to clarify!!

First row equals from Esc to Del...

Only these keys if they have a function work with Fn...

Got it?

Did that WIND come with the MOUSE????

So far, it seems to be going well for MSI.... If only they didnt have the battery shortage, and didnt fill the internet with reviews talking about how the O/C function was removed, they WOULDVE had a real EEE killer, (idc bout the draft n; but to each his own),

....but wouldve, shoudve, couldve...

Hmmm, i wonder how this will affect all the games that have been berated

This sounds awesome but ill wait for full release version

@targa

If usb ports/wifi doesnt work reflash 1.08 using this guide:

post32444.html#p32444

If you can not boot from hdd - restore default settings in bios.
If the keyboard doesnt work - remove the battery, wait 5seconds then reinsert.

about oc, in bios 'advanced' tab > 'DOC %' select 24 or another value.

Sorry for my poor english, hope you understand what im talking about ;o)
