The new BIOS for the K8N Pro board seems to require a repair install of
WinXP after flashing. The website says it has a fix for a cpu voltage
problem. Seems like I should update, but what a pain the OS reinstall is.
Has anybody used the F9 and is there an improvement in performance. Is
anybody familiar with what the cpu voltage problem is, and should this be
considered a required fix?

Thanx,
Fitz

Just wandering whether you managed flushing F9 (or maybe F10)
and how that went. I am in the same boat (currently on F7) - I did
flush F7 to F9 but XP would not start after that (I would briefly
see XP blue screen of death and then the machine would reboot). I did
not however install any new SII drivers but just flushed BIOS F9 via
@BIOS from
within windows. I later backed out to F7 (one problem I have with
F7 bios is that the machine will not complete the boot process unless
I hit a key - seems any key will do - unless I do that the machine
cycles between printing the nvidia video card message and the monitor
message - once I hit a key then that loop is exited and the boot
process continues normally).
Thanks for any info or comments anyone may have regarding this or
any additional info/advice regarding F9 and/or F10 with XP and SII3112
controller.
