Just like the title says. I do not know what this bios brings but it's new. Sadly the cpu problem is not fixed. When charging battery until it's above 90% the cpu will not go till 2.2ghz. It just stays at 1.2ghz. Will have to wait for the 204 version. (since 204 on the g2s does not have this issue) also the 204 g2s version on the g1s does not have the problem but the keyboard stops working. thank god i make a batch file for reflashing the g1s version back

Cheers

Edit:
"Changed the Memory Refresh Mode select from 7.8 usec to 3.9 usec.
Note: This is the project leader and Sale PM request.
Correctly the Japan keyboard Matrix.
Update Azalize AUDIO verb table for G1S of ALC-660D.
Correct the Direct Media button for G1S."

Has anyone else tried this bios update? Does it fix the grainy screen issue?

uuuuh hello?
Intel microsoft and asus all have their utilities which reduce the clock of your cpu on battery life. This is done on purpose. Disable the power savings option in bios. remove power4gear by asus. set windows to max performance. then you should be able to get the full clock out of it. i dont know why you would want to. it reduces the battery life to under 45 minutes even less if you push it

any news on this? I didn't see the update on Asus's support site so I don't know if I want to try it.

That's what I was thinking. To thread starter, where did you get that file location from?

by simply browsing the asus ftp server.

to Geared2play.com. if you have a g1s YES you have the problem.

discharge battery until 70% for e.g. While on battery make a super pi 1M. You will have about more or less 22sec. Plug in ac adapter and make a super pi 1M again you will have more or less 42Sec. You will only have about 23sec while charging battery when it's above 90%. It has been proved by other users. You can see with cpu-z 1.40.5 the cpu speed.

Don't tell me that you do not have the problem because you have it too. I was hopping that more and more users would mail asus about this.

the change log is on

i do t know what superpi is but i ve tested and restested g1s with 3dmark and pcmark and the cpu was always read correctly and the scores alsways as expected. The battery was not plugged in at any time at all. If i had to guess there are 2 problems that may be affecting you
1. some kind of software that you loaded, like cpuz or what have you for monitoring
2. conflicting issues between your software and the power saving software that comes with the laptop from asus or vista it self.
If you want my help i ask you do 2 of the following things
1. use the restore dvd to restore windows to factory state and do not install any other programs.
2. Use vistas own property feature or 3dmark to read the current cpu clock and no other utility. if you find that your problem is still present i will ask my tech to look into it

adolfotregosa, have you tried this update yourself? If so, does it fix the graininess issue?

adolfotregosa · 07-19-2007, 09:32 PM

the problem does not exist WHEN the battery is out !! like i said put in battery and discharg it untill below 90%, say 83%.

make a super pi 1M wile on battery. Plug in ac adapter and try to achive and same score ! use cpu-z to see the speed..
