SUCCESS!!! Jan's patched BIOS file loaded with no problems, and it came up as before in 3.5x66MHz. Things seemed OK, so I opened the box and set it for x4. Machine booted as 6x86MXL @266MHz and continued on thru the POST. A quick test using WinTune98 shows: Cyrix 6x86 (1) 232 MHz Windows 98 4.10.222...

Just heard from Jan Steunebrink so I thought I'd bring you all up to date. "Oke, I disassembled the BIOS and found the Cyrix ID lookup table. It doesn't go any further than 54h / 5Ch (3.5x), and the Cyrix detection algorithm is such that when it sees 55h / 5Dh it doesn't even recognise the CPU as a ...

This is really funny...did they really build this feature into the motherboard??? And...is it printed in an instruction manual someplace?

What other motherboards do something like this? Maybe we should take a poll just for fun... :D

Thanks Rainbow for replying. There has got to be some sort of utility that can look at this...I mean if you can add Large HD support, why can't you add CPU support, especially in my case where I don't need to add register settings, etc... just tell it that this combination exists in this world. The ...

BIOS Modification - DFI 586IPVG, Cyrix MII 433, K6-2/+ 450

Hey all -- I've posted this before in the old forum and over at th's PCChips forum, but haven't had much progress/help since then, so I thought I'd repost it here again in the Advanced Section. I'm looking to read the CPU Tables in my BIOS to see just what it knows about each one it supports in an a...

I would be interested in knowing if there is a program out there that can read what a BIOS is capable of. I'm looking to know what CPU's my BIOS actually does know about and where that information is stored within the BIOS itself, with the intent of making an addition to that table. Back on the old ...

mo3bk -

You do have an M912 there with the AWARD BIOS that has the date error (only recognizes dates between 1994-1999). Hop over to The PCChips Lottery and read all about it...extensive recent posting there on this board.

Good Luck!!
