I had a problem with C'n'Q with the F7 bios for the Gigabyte K8VT800 Pro.
But C'n'Q works well with the F6 bios.
I reported this problem to Gigabyte in Germany and they were very
uninterested on this problem.
Then I contacted Gigabyte support in Taiwan directly and they send me to
different versions of a new unreleased F8 bios version. They asked me to
test both and report them, what happens.
And in fact, one of the both versions worked well with C'n'Q, the other one
didn't.
Now, the Gigabyte Support in Taiwan will inform the developers about this
result and a new bios version will be released soon (and I have the
unofficial F8a bios version running here).
This is a really good support, isn't it?
