| Question about motherboard and processor... |

Hi, I bought this motherboard to use with a Athlon 2100+... http://www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=38 However, I notice that you can get Athlon 2100+ support only if you update your BIOS. BUT, how I could update the bios so the motheboard can work with Athlon 2100+ if I don't have a previous supported processor (Athlon 1600 for example) that I can use to turn on the computer and update the bios, and after this, insert and use Athlon 2100+ ? Do you think that the computer can boot up with Athlon XP 2100+ attached, even with a old and unsupported bios, but just not operating at 2100 ? Thanks. |

yes. I think it will still boot but it probably won't recognise the processor and will boot at a lower speed. give it a try. BTW, did you just buy the motherboard? If so, it probably already has the latest BIOS and shouldn't require an upgrade. |
