Okay, I bought myself an ASUS A8R-MVP and have been having problems since I've started overclocking. First, I can't figure out how to change my divider, I have no idea, and have since assumed that this is unchangeable, currently my expensive ddr-500 modules are running at ddr-266, which is a big problem

second, I can't figure out for the life of me how to update my BIOS, Please help me with this... I've checked with ASUS and am still very confused, Please throw in your two cents here, thanks
 
I'm not sure I can help you with your memory, I'll do a little research and get back to you.

BIOS update can be done with the floppy award flash program, or (easier) the EZ Flash.

The award flash requires loading the award.exe utility from the MB disc to floppy and thenD/L and unzip the BIOS update and place on the same floppy. Enter the BIOS, go to EZ Flash section, and follow the instructions to the letter as they are in the MB manual.

For EZ Flash, D/L and unzip the BIOS update to a flash drive.
Enter BIOS and go to the EZ Flash section, enter EZ Flash. Place the Flash drive in a USB slot. The utility will allow you to select the drive with the update, follow the on screen instruction, restart.

I recommend against any windows based utilities. The floppy is the tried and true although it takes more steps.

The MB manual spells it out very well how to do both. If you dont have one, go to ASUS and D/L the manual for your MB.
