Do you think these values would be the same for all mainboards using this part? That answer will determine how we incorporate this fix.
No. On my main computer which uses a mcp55 SB too, these values are definately not the same.. These are board specific values and, as Yinghai suggests in a later post, they should be fixed in the m57sli specific files (on the other hand I agree with Torsten that there are no differences btw the v1.0 & v2.0 versions of the boards regarding these values)
