BIOS Features

The 4PDA2+ has a nicely rounded BIOS with a good set of options available to tweak and twiddle with.

The advanced BIOS features page allows easy enabling or disabling of the Pentium 4's Hyper-Threading technology found on supporting CPUs.

 

 

 

The basic memory tweaking settings are available with DRAM timing set to "Manual".

 

The P4 just seems to have no limits where system bus frequency is concerned, provided your CPU is unlocked that is of course, and this is reflected in the hefty 350MHz upper limit.

 

Memory frequency ratios cover just the basics allowing only DDR333 or DDR266 with our P3 3.06GHz (533MHz).

 

 

 

 

AGP voltage ranges up to +0.70V.

 

VCore is probably likely to be the big disappointment for those who like to overclock their systems to the brink of destruction. At +0.05V maximum over-voltage Epox have clearly decided that the risks of subjecting your CPU to death by frying are just not worth it. Epox are no dummies when it comes to BIOS optimisations and you can be sure that if they've done something like this it wasn't by accident!

 

VDIMM can be cranked up to +0.70V over stock.
