Update support for newer Via C3 possible ?
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2003 2:50 am
I would like to (successfully) install a 1GHz Via C3 - Nehemiah core - in an MSI 6309, aka 694T ver. 5.0. This motherboard already supports the older C3 chip, but when I put this one in, it runs very slowly maybe less than 10% of the expected speed. At POST, the message says:
Via (unknown) 1GHz
The existing BIOS is the most current for this board, 4/19/2002 version 7.5. It is an AMI BIOS:
62-1029-009999-00101111-071595-VIA694X-1694T050-F
For what it's worth, I happen to have another PC with Award 6 BIOS that supports this CPU. Perhaps something could be extracted.
Is this a doable project ?
