I am interested in A03 BIOS for PE6850 in order to fix storage hiccup on a
4-way PE6850 (PERC 4e/Di)  running CentOS 4.1/i386. When can I find more
info on what gets fixed other than what's stated in PE6850-BIOSA03.TXT ? Can
someone clarify what these two fixes are?


   - Added support for Virtualization Technology in the processor.

Should I assume this is not referring to HT, but of special server
virtualization assistance from Intel's VT (?) technology or alike ?

   - Added support for 800MHz system configurations.

Does this mean BIOS prior to A03 doesn't support any 800MHZ system
configuration? Or, support is added to some new 800MHZ configurations? What
constitutes a configuration?
