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!!

Disclaimer:
This BIOS is unofficial and may cause problems with your keyboard after it is flashed. Use at your own risk. This post will help you to reflash to another version of BIOS if you have any problems.

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?

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 :P

The power button goes orange ;)

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

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:

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!!

Did that WIND come with the MOUSE???? :o

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 :? .....

@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)
