Hot swap questions
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 1:45 am
1st the facts:
ASUS P5W w\8Mb ROM AMI BIOS that needs to be flashed to support my CPU (840EE).
Is it more important to hot swap ROM in same sized (8Mb), or same sourced BIOS (AWARD or AMI)?
I have a M2N32 & a STRIKER EXTREME that have a 8Mb chip, but BIOS is AWARD; I have other boards that are AMI, but ROM is only 4Mb.
Is it even possible to cross flash, and whose flasher would I use?
I do not want to buy a early CPU to just update the BIOS; or does someone want to loan one for the update?
