I was wondering if the chipset on the K7S5A/K7S5A pro determined the max RAM or if the bios did. I currently have it maxed out at 1gb. I was just curious to know if it was actually possible for someone to reprogram a bios to allow a motherboard to support even more ram. I am aiming to get 1.5gb-2gb. I am currently using the HoneyX bios. Specs: Athlon 2400+ overclocked to 2600+ 1gb DDR 2100 ram (two 512 2100 sticks) ATI radeon 9800 Pro K7S5A Pro
