I need to upgrade my BIOS to make my computer compatible with WinXP, but I am having a hard time finding what I need, thanks!

DFI motherboard possible the K6BV3+ listed in your Bios-ID

There should be a newer Bios on their website www.dfi.com.tw and the very ltest should be in the beta sector there

Jan Steunebrink ( http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/k6plus.htm ) lists a 01/15/2001 Beta for the K6BV3+ (Rev. A boards) and a 04/12/2000 Beta for the K6BV3+/66. No other information is given.
