OP OP b1gapl Mod Emeritus Messages 13,044 Location USA Feb 8, 2006 #4 I think its Manufacturer - ASUSTeK Computer INC. Model - P4B266LM Version - REV 1.xx Socket Designation - mPGA 478 Architecture - 32-bit For some reason it did say HT: Available - Disabled I was using 3d mark to get this info

OP OP b1gapl Mod Emeritus Messages 13,044 Location USA Feb 8, 2006 #7 It says Chipset - Intel i845D, and how do I flash the BIOS, and when will I know I have to
I icemakr In Runtime Messages 178 Feb 8, 2006 #8 The manual says it supports 400MHz FSB. So i dont think flashing the bios will help, but maybe i'm wrong.
