BIOS update
1.Enhance Memory Support.
2.Support AMD Athlon 64 FX60 CPUs.
3.Add over clocks step by step.

AMD will release its Athlon FX60 CPU in January, it will be the first dual core
FX CPU. It will have two cores but will end up clocked at 2.6GHz while the FX 57
is clocked at 2.8GHz.

AMD ATHLON 64 FX-57 2.8GHZ SAN DIEGO 1MB L2 CACHE SOCKET 939 64-bit RETAIL (IN
STOCK-!) model# ADAFX57BNBOX

AMD FX57 @ 3.65Ghz cooled by autocascade on DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR rev. AD0
2x512MB Mushkin Level II PC-3500 (BH-5)
BFG 7800GTX 512 in SLI watercooled @ 700/2000 on NEC MultiSync FP2141SB
Creative Labs SoundBlaster X-Fi on Logitech Z-2200
2x74GB WD Raptors (RAID 0) | 300GB Maxtor SATA 16MB cache
PCP&C Turbo-Cool 1kW PSU

AMD 3800x2 2750Mhz w/ Swiftech Storm @ 1.56v
Asus A8N32-SLI bios 703

We managed to overclock our Athlon 64 FX-57 from its default 2.8GHz clock speed
to over 3.0GHz without a great deal of problem by a simple multiplier
adjustment. The processor was stable at this speed with a slight increase in
core voltage from 1.40v to 1.43v in every application that we threw at it, with
the exception of the mother of all torture tests: Prime 95.
