My AsRock Conroe865PE Bios 1.71 (beta BIOS) works Fine with this cpu (C2DE7200) ;)
ConRoe865PE bios L 1.71a
ConRoe865PE is working fine on 45 nm cpu Wolfdale. E7200.
My AsRock Conroe865PE Bios 1.72 (BIOS) works with this cpu C2DE4600
Bios 1.71 ?
I can't find bios 1.71 / 1.71, event on asrock page? The newest is 1.70?
Someone help ?
unofficial bios 1.72
these bios are available online and supports r0 stepping 800fsb wolfdale chips,
my conroe865pe has pentium dual core e5400 @ 2.7ghz identified and running flawlessly, ram ratio changes to 3/2 when overclocking though which is a shame can run 3.6ghz stable at 1066fsb.
Have e5800 @ 3.2 on the way to try, will let you know how it goes.
reply to comment about 1.71 bios
1.71 are beta bios and are not listed on the asrock site anymore only the last 1.70 bios are listed, you can find them elsewhere though i have them saved somewhere on one of my back up drives.
I went for the 1.72 unofficial bios and have had no trouble with them, they have all the ram and multiplier options unlocked too.
e5800 pentium compatible
My e5800 3.2ghz pentium (intel dropped dual core from name) is installed and working great.
I am now very confident that the 3.4ghz e5900 800fsb chips would work also.
I'm amazed that this old agp board can still run cpu's that only released last year.
It just goes to show what microcode patching the bios can do,
As long as the cpu socket is the same patching bios should bring new upgrade options to all motherboard makes and cpu brands.
I found a site that does microcode patching on request, you just give them your origional/latest bios file and a bios that supports the cpu's you want to add support for and they will midify them for you.
the site is called www .bios-mods. com
Building an old school rig..
Hi all, settled on this board, trying to put together the best possible computer to run Win 98SE/dual boot with XP. If it runs smoothly enough we want to build a 4 PC LAN with these :)
If anyone has the 1.72 BIOS or knows where it can be found, please post a link or the site it's on, it would be greatly appreciated.

The download link is at the bottom of the first post, just clip the link with the little paper clip next to it.

advice on the board
The board is pretty great for the era it was made.
i run 3gb ram in dual channel and a 1gb hd4650 this is the limit for graphics ram under xp.
the chipset and xp o/s can only map 4gb memory addresses total so 4gb ram and 1gb graphics would leave less than 3gb available only anyway,
windows 98 might struggle to identify the modern cpu's and will definetly struggle maping loads of ram.
There are mods to help windows 98se access more ram and bigger harddrives/file sizes etc, and also an unofficial service pack available online.
Intel E5200
Please, it is necesary 1.71 beta bios to work with this processor? One link it is good for my. Thank you
overclocking a little
my conroe865pe has been running well for a while so i decided to do a little overclocking,
My fsb is currently set to 225 giving my e5800 a 3.6ghz clock speed with standard multiplier, i would go higher if i had better ram (currently mix of crucial and kingston value ddr400 cl3 ram).
The ram is still on 1:1 divider but i have not tried to go any higher that 225fsb so couldn't say exactly when the 3:2 divider kicks in.
With the ati hd4650 overclocked too the pc still holds it's own stock is 600gpu/400ram and now im running at 700gpu/450ram, the core clock is limited by the catalyst software.
The e5900 (stock 3.4ghz) is from what i can tell the last 800fsb chip intel will make but add 3gb of low latancy ddr500 and set the fsb to the limit of the 1.1 divider I predict some pretty good overclock results.
overclocking
After a little more fiddling I can say ram stays at 1:1 ratio at least up untill 240fsb, this is where my value ram has just crapped out and bluescreened on me whilst running pc wizard benchmark.
Better ram would be needed to see if the 1:1 ratio stays locked in any higher but i did get my e5800 to 3.84ghz which was nice temperature was not much different to stock either, Im only using an old cooler master copper core heatsink from a pentium d and pwm setting to slow/1800rpm.
I've set everything back to 225fsm now so as to ensure reliability at a healthy 3.6ghz.
hope this info helps
now on win 7
had a virus last night that hosed my xp sp3,
I just installed win 7 home premiem I had to install the motherboard driver manualy in compatability mode but everything seems to be working.
with the cpu at 3.6 and the gpu at 700 my wei score is as follows
cpu-6.8, ram-5.9, graphics (aero)-5.3, graphics gaming-6.5, hard drive-5.9
overall not a bad set up considering it's all outdated tech, as i mentioned before a hd4670 will boost graphical/gaming performance greatly on this board and is only realy equaled by the hd3850 (when no AA is used)
hmm
well the 4650/4670/3850 are all bottlenecked by ddr 3200 so you would have to overclock your memory to get any better speed or switch to pc 5000 or pc 5500 ddr memory to get any more speed out of your video cards other then that they are all run about the same speed
rams
I agree ddr500 would be a good step with overclocking a 800fsb cpu, but as far as the ram bottlenecking a hd4650 etc It has 1gb of it's own video ram so only in demanding games will any of the system ram be used by the graphics card and then only 64mb of it as set by my agp aperture size.
I have had this pc for about a years now I retired my old p4 pc and donated its ram and video card to this one, the olny thing i could justify spending money on was the cpu as it was brand new and cheap.
Other than that though i can't justify buying ddr500 or upgrading the graphics any further unless they come at rock bottom prices.
3.8ghz stable
I am now running e5800 @ 3.8ghz stable with the ram on 4:5 ratio, fsb at 254 - multi at 15 running ram around 203mhz.
Temps are almost identical to non o/c, ram frequency auto, ram cl auto should put you on the right ratio but sets cl to 2.5 but so long as you set the rest of the timings to the right value it should be fine.
windows system tools show 4.06ghz but i think that is based on a 16 multi.
edit
sorry meant 5:4 ratio,
