hi all new to this site
was wondering if anyone can help me with advice about bios update on my motherboard ms 7091 version 2 yep i no its old lol but getting new one soon so this be my back up comp , basically ive got hold of another cpu a pentium 4 3ghz with h/t and read up that having h/t pentium 4 is better then single core pentium 4's mine is near enough same speed at 3.06 ghz but without the h/t and the fsb is more as well with this h/t one. i have 2.7 gig of pc2 6400 so that should work better with more fsb from what ive read up
if i swapped over cpu's would i need to update my bios as well ?, ive found the manual for it and it does support socket 775 hyper threading cpu and my bios version is according to cpu-z its version 6.00 PG 07/26/2005 but checked in bios on boot up and saw its 5.08 07/26/2005 so bit confused there .and also hyperthreading is enabled in bios so thats ok
if it does need update the bios , can i just take it out and put back in my old p4 3.06 single core without any probs? ive read up on how to replace cpu so ill be ok with that part, just that ive never done bios update before and heard that if it ain't broke dont try fix it. microstar does have online bios update but cant find the mobo on it and bit worried about using it and i dont have floppy on this comp to boot from
thanks for any help with this much appreciated oh p.s im using xp media center
