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?

pretty much im trying to oc my duron to 1ghz. and compaq's "bios" dont give anything close to that.

[Livy]

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.

i found a award flasher that works under NT/XP, if any1 could help out with the .bin that be perfect
