I'm going to do a Windows 7 x64 install soon and I want to upgrade the
BIOS on my motherboard, P5E WS Pro. Anyone have any experience with
this board and BIOS upgrade using one of the more recent ones? I'm
still using the same one that came installed when I bought the board,
and although it's very stable, it might be time to upgrade for the new
OS. Thanks

I'm running the 1101 BIOS on that board, with Win7-64. All working
fine.

The only reason I moved up to the 1101 from whatever came with the
board (I don't recall) was that the 1101 finally fixed the problem of
inordinate startup delay when running ECC DRAM.

Thanks, I'm going to give that a shot; did you use AFudos 236 for the
install?

Again, memory fails. I did do the DOS install method, whichever
version Asus had on their download site at the time.
