Even newer bios update for Parhelia/P-x50

[K6-III]

Was browsing the Matrox FTP and I found a new bios update. Took my Parhelia from 1.3.18 with the previous update to 1.4.20 with this one.

Good, just one question. What the hell does it fix?

Didn't say anything in the readme and the Matrox forums are closed for the weekend...

K6 - u have a retail parhelia i take it? can u do a pinsdump and tell me what your 10th line reads, my 10th line was reset to its oem settings however the letter was changed A when it was origionally B, i think that line 10 is the line in the bios which determines the voltage of the card as mine card locked straight away with a core of 220 with this setting, anyone have any ideas on how to manipulate this?is it a hex setting which stands of a voltage?would like to see some bios hack volt mods, i know it would bugger the card up long term, just an interesting thought.

If you could remind me how to do it (haven't done it in a while), I would gladly do it for ya...

IIRC: pbioswin /d pinsfile.txt

Line 10 reads 0x830A.

I have retail Parhelia and I'm running @235/600 MHz.

Line 10 of my pinsfile.txt says:
10 2 0x830A

[K6-III]

At present, my Parhelia tops out at 238/620.

I usually run it at 230/600, though...

I haven't played much with overclocking yet, and my Parhelia was second hand so I believe it's an earlier board.

I don't have Parhelia, I got P series.

The line reads: 10 2 0x020A

Does that mean anything? Thanks!
