A64 754 3700+ Mobile DTR + Chaintech VNF3-250 = workie / no workie?

Chaintech VNF3-250 Zenith Value Edition [AGP/PCI Lock, FID 4x-Max, HTT Adjust, VCore, VDimm, LDT; Tested with Athlon 64 DTR 1.5v, Athlon 64 Mobile 1.4v] - will NOT boot with shipping BIOS. What that means is that you have to get *another* DESKTOP CPU and flash to the 2004/7/29 BIOS found here:
Then swap out the desktop with the mobile chip. At that point the motherboard will boot but the CPU will lock down to a 4x multiplier (800Mhz) To correct this one needs to go into the Frequency/Voltage control menu in the BIOS and enable voltage adjustment and MANUALLY select the proper voltage for the chip. Then, in the same menu select the FID control and manually select the proper multiplier for the chip. Reboot and the problem should be solved

thats a few months old so the shipping BIOS would probably work now.

you probably should have emphasized that a bit more. kinda like how no 939 boards were working with 90nm properly.. now it's a non-issue ;)
