(NOTE: Please be warned that the above sign-on messages can cause confusion about the true mainboard model. If you need technical support about a mainboard showing those sign-on messages please either check visually with the printing or the label on the mainboard for the exact model or if your system is sealed for warranty reasons please contact the vendor of the system to make sure which exact model you have.)

BIOS modification:
1. Fixed: Cannot recognize AthlonXP CPU above 2200+. Please note that this mainboard model does not really support those processors because this mainboard model does not officially support the Athlon XP Thoroughbred processors but only the Athlon XP Palomino processors. This BIOS is just by request for the recognition on the KinetiZ 7E. For details about actual compatibility please visit our Central Processing Unit (CPU, processor) and cooling page in our support section.
2. Fixed: Cannot boot with some graphic cards.
