BIOS Release Notes
====================================================
===================================
****************************************************
***********************************
Systems : QuickSilver
BIOS Version : A07
Release Date: 03/04/2011
VBIOS version: 62.79.60.00.03
ITE EC Version: 12.62


BIOS change:
1. None.

EC change:
1. Modified CPU throttling algorithm to be more efficient.
So basically this is the A06 BIOS with the EC patch to prevent throttling. Tried it on many games, and all seems well.

Also, if anybody is having issue with lockups or black screens with newer Verde Nvidia drivers, try turning off PCI-E 2.0, it seemed to have fixed the problem for many, including me.
