Checking out the BIOS

It's no surprise that Magic-Pro went with an Award BIOS with their K7N-Ultra S motherboard.

We have all the usual memory and AGP tweaks we'd expect from a nForce2 motherboard. This is not a knock against Magic Pro but I would have personally preferred FSB adjustments under the CPU Voltage and Frequency. It would make overclocking quite a bit simpler.

Unlike other budget motherboards, Magic-Pro allows you full multiplier control on T-Bred/Barton based processors. CPU voltage goes to a maximum of 1.85V which should be enough for the average overclocker. AGP voltage can be raised to 1.8V and DDR voltage to 2.8V. Magic-Pro was also kind enough to allow for VDD Voltage adjustments all the way up to 1.8V but the Northbridge didn't seem to like running at 1.8V. Up next, the benchmarks!
