hi i'm wanting to Upgrade my Pentuim 4 2.4ghz to a 2.8ghz or higher.
i know i need to update my Bios but i can't find the updates
my Mother board is a Gigabyte GA81-R but it's not listed on Gigabytes site.
the Bios string is
04/24/2002 i845 6a69VGoic-00
do i need to change the bus speed before changing CPU's?? or should it be a straight swap over??
i did try once but i think i fried the new 2.8ghz CPU
but my Old 2.4Ghz still works fine
