You are correct - they seem have pulled the file (but the release info text file is still up). I downloaded it two days ago and flashed my 600m. Nothing appears to be wrong but I hope nothing goes wrong!! Maybe I should've waited :smileyindifferent:

i'm a little peeved about the 333mhz memory support. it says it is supports on the "newest" 600ms. so what is considered new? i got my 600m in dec., it is less than one month old. yet i received one with motherboard revision a3, which does not support 333mhz memory speed, only 266mhz. the b1 revision which does support it has been out for over a year, yet i receive a laptop with the old revision. what's the deal.

i used a program called cpu-z from cpuid.com.

go to the mainboard tab once you have it installed and it should tell you your revision.

So, will the 333MHz only be supported by systems with the B1 revision, or will a BIOS update allow for support on an older revision, like A3?

hmm.. even though the punch list online says B1 for the processor (I was thinking maybe that was the motherboard revision), CPU-Z lists A3. Does your Memory frequency show up as 333 or 266 on the CPU-Z program?

Hello,

I have a 600m too...and I got mine in mid-october.

CPU-Z says rev. for mainboard is A3...

Also, in the frequency under memory it says 133.2 MHz. Is this suppose to be multiplied by 2 or what?

LOL.......... OK, Now what happened to A16??????

 

Just disappeared????

 

Anybody know what the description for fixes was on that one???
