BIOS Updates forum

I have recently upgraded an old system to a tualatin 1.2ghz processor with a compaq motherboard and psu. Upon booting the system it will show an assortment of garbled text (which is always the same), but will still react to the power button (so i'm assuming the system hasn't locked up). To solve the...

Also, would it be wise to use on of these when running on a 75fsb?

Have you got any personal recommendations. Sub £20 chipsets I'm looking at, so which brands/chipset would you recommend? http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=9343666969&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=60614 This one looks tidy would it be decent?

I have just got hold of two new hard-drives, a 60gb maxtor, and a 120gb samsung. After installing them the computer won't boot. I think the bios only supports up to 32gb here are the details from bios wizard: Generated by: BIOS Wizard 2.10 Date: July 01, 2005 Time: 20:44 PnP Version : BIOS currently...

If this Bios is recognizing a K6-III then there should be no problem with Write Allocation on K6-2 (if K6-III is supported properly). The other question is why does this board not accept SDRAM ? -> damaged socket or Bios buggy ? It does work with SDRAM, it was the other motherboard (used by the k6-...

Thanks very much.

have a intel 430tx chipset, with a pentium 200 mhz cpu. I also had running an AMD K6-2 chip with 64mb of ram on another computer. The problem is that the k6's motherboard does not accept SDRAM of which I have 128mb whilst the pentiums board does. The other problem is that the k6-2 isn't identified b...
