    can sum1 plz help me flash my compaq bios to AWARD Bios. im going thru hell. either i find the flasher, then it dont support NT/XP. or i cant find my AWARD Bios ID.

    Chipset: VIA 8363, VIA KT133
    Northbridge: VT82C686A

    pretty much any version of AWARD bios will work for me, as long as it works.

    i checked, and my flash bios are not write protected.

    When upgrading your BIOS you must use the right one for your specific motherboard, not just any AWARD BIOS.

    Why do you think you need a BIOS upgrade?

    maybe your board doesnt support that great a speed, what speed is your duron?

    edit: also, what computer model do you have, or motherboard?

    @Livy, there's nothing I can see in here as to why he needs to update.

    heh, yeh it can, with these bios, the max mobo can handle is 1100. my duron is 750. only 250mhz.. sum dude got it to 1250.. but as too unstable, so he turned it down to 1ghz and worked perfect.
