Great DOT improvement using Bios 3.6 for 865PE Neo-2 P series

Question

Great DOT improvement of Bios 3.6O for 865PE Neo-2 P series.
Thanks to NovJoe and everybody in the following thread (especially iliveonhope)

The DOT is kind like straight forward approach by reaching the preset DOT on the bios after booting and during aplication for less then 2 second, the old bios is gradually increasing almost 1 minute or more.
Also the FSB reading on CC is function well not randomly change as on the last Bios.
The Autooverclocking value using CC if not change by default is always shown the maximum FSB.
The weaknesess is still the default value using 'save' on CC  that not performing well (its better to have user define FSB value) and also the DOT range could be much higher then the Commander so I can set certain FSB value to max FSB value. (Waiting for the next improvement from the MSI Software Team).
It will work fine for anybody who use FSB:DRAM Feq. = 1:1 using DDR greater then 400
Interesting thing about this DOT method is it always back on the lowest FSB during stand-by, for me its great hardware saving (It will be great if the FSB stays on the user define setting).
Regarding the CPU temperatue is a little bit lower compared with the 865PE Neo-2 S series using the same Heat sink type.
Its worth to try except it cannot reach the maximum OCing due to the DOT rank limitation.

clausman,
What bios version do you used ? is already version 3.6
If you are using Bios 3.60 try to run PC mark 2002 or other benching software (if you have it), you will note that when the benchmark starting the FSB will raise and then after you stop it in the middle or end the FSB will go back to the lowest FSB (Do it by showing the CC beside the PC mark.
Please let me know.
