booted up a dream, detecting cpu straight awayme so chuffed!
cheers for recommending me this board peeps
currently got the barton running at 2ghz, rekkon it should go a lot further.
lol not a surprise it worked fineid get the latest bios as well, 21 has just been released. i personally am on 19 as i cant see any reason for me to upgrade, i think some of the fixes were barton specific
To upgrade i reccomend Abit Flashmenu rather than going through all that dos carp. It is very reliable program, more reliable than a floppy disk is anyway, on my last abit board floppy drive went tits up mid flash takin the board with it (was during the boot block flashin that it went)![]()
done every flash since with the windows-based flashbios and its going strong![]()

Also scan sell a nice device which saves you in the event of a screwed up Bios flash, think its basicly the same as the Gigabyte Dual Bios

Looks like the latest bios is the 18 one.....
apparently there is a fix related to the Barton 2500+ being detected as a 3200 +![]()
Which is why some people are avoiding itOriginally posted by acidrainy

I know I wouldn't mind getting the extra MHz automatically!
is it actually oc-ing it, or just displaying the wrong identifier?

i think its a small chip thing that simply backsup the bios good for n00bs... like MEOriginally posted by acidrainy

Darn, how nice would it be if it made it a 3200+Originally posted by Agent
Wrong identifier.I think everyone would get one

Yeah but when you don't use the user define option in Softmenu III it will use the default setting of 11*200 instead of 11*166 right?Originally posted by Agent
Wrong identifier.
The one golden rule!Originally posted by Tom

NEVER flash a bios from a floppy disk!
