Is this a C2 stepping MB? or say rev1.1 MB?

Today is January 13th, 2014. I just had this motherboard delivered to my door and it is labeled REV 1.1. I assume that is the C2 stepping, but I will confirm when I get it all hooked up.

Yeah, I am not sure either, but considering C2 appears to be a more recent version update not to mention, cheaper and also come with free office 2013, that made my choice easy to decide.

You can use the 1.35. Source: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1771553/35v-memory.html

If the C drive came before the B one, then why does Amazon marked the C one as "the newer model"?**so...the software of both are the same. i should buy the the B one (THIS one), right?

My machine only has USB 2.0, so I can't say anything about higher versions, sorry...

Both boarsd I ordered were rev 2.1, which claims to support DDR3-1333 memory. The box should say which memory types it supports though.I should mention though that I couldn't even get this board to POST, with either one I recieved. It seems to be VERY picky about your hardware configuration and would not boot no matter what I did. Your mileage may very, but just a heads up.

the SP1 that I purchased was for exactly what you want to do. I bought a laptop with Windows HATE (8) and used it to reverb back to a real OS.

Must be the color. BL appears to be the color code. BL may be black not sure what MB is

I got REV 1.0 but I wouldn't expect any noticeable improvement added to 1.1. The REV 1.0 that I received already has the f4 bios and I don't really need to update to f5 version because I don't see any use of it in the soonest foreseeable future

I have one and it's 64 bit. My only disappointment was that it will only handle 8GB of memory. Other than that, it works great.

I put in a Kingston 4gb and it works well. Much faster than 1gb and no freezing issues when running more than one programme etc. it only reads 3gb but it's not a problem at all.

I'm in the process of doing this exact upgrade, except up to 480 GB. Using Macrium Reflect Free, I was able to clone the drive, swap it into the Series 9, and the computer is acting perfectly. It worked. The problem is that even though it's a 480 GB drive, windows just shows it as the same size as old one, with 300GB of "unallocated" space that I can't figure out how to make accessible. If you figure it out, please let me know how you did it! My thread is one of the other Q & A threads on this same product.

The one I bought was 32 bit. I bought the product according to the title/description, not by looking at a picture.

I have the prior 800/400/usb 2.0 version and it is 7200rpm. I can't imagine they went backwards..

The first one I received was a Rev01...after installing it, it didnt work. I asked them to send a Rev04 which they did and it works great! I would recommend contacting the seller during purchase to make sure you get the right one because apparently it matters!

It is backwards compatible. I'm not sure if you can use a boot source but I am sure with certain programs it is possible.
