AMD 2600+ for ECS K7S5A- how to choose bios upgrade?

nts42 · Mon Apr 14, 2003 11:38 pm

I went to the ECSUSA website and found 8 seperate bios updates for my MOBO. Do I need to chronologically install each one (oldest to newest) or can I simply flash the most current? I searched your board and learned lots but couldn't find this answer. Thanks for this great site!!

Simply flash the most current.

Thanks. I know it may have sounded like a silly question, but in my line of work, one never assumes. Have a great day!!

1) Make sure you get the FSB133 Version of the XP2600+
2) Make sure you have a CPU-Cooler capable of xooling the 2600+
3) You should install the 021129 Bios or the modified cheepo 1.12 (Overclocking Bios + some nice features enabled) based on the 021129 otherwise the SSE-Feature of your CPU is not activated
If you have the K7S5A PRO then all Bios support your CPU
