Same here, Ross has already tried it and seems to be the same as 606 so far.

I've noticed no differences performance wise from 0606. The Asus post screen changed a bit, it now has the newer 'Pentium D' logo.

Well, until I see a changelog for it, other than sporting the new style Intel logo on the splash (which looks like a lousy hack job BTW), nothing I might find useful seems different...but it does work.

I just tried using Asus Update (7.04.01) to go back to BIOS 519 from "704" and it tells me (verbatim):

"Warning! The BIOS image can't use in this motherboard. (The EEPROM Type incompatible.)"

I am going to try flashing back to 519 the "hard way" with a floppy and AFUDOS. If no one hears from me in a couple of days, you'll know it went bad

Did it give you a warning too?

606 was a tad lower on FSB for booting than 519 was for me, but I am no where near those FSBs on the CM

I updated my bios from 0606 to 0704 from dos using Afudos 2.21, when i tried to go back to 0606 i also got an error message telling me that the bios was to old or the bios is not for this motherboard.
All i did to get back to 0606 was to use the older Afudos 2.19 instead of Afudos 2.21 and that sorted it.

Hope this helps!
