RunT Statusless Send PM Posts: 2600 Threads: 106 Money: £29.56 (D) (+ Friend)	Completely of Topic [ hense the forum ] but does anyone know where I can get BIOS updates without having to pay for them? My CPU is a AMD Athlon XP 2200 but its only running at 1.8ghz and not 2.1ghz like it should. The only way i've found one wants $24.95 from me, and I refuse to pay it. Anyone know where I can get / find one for free? IF there is such a way? Completely of Topic [ hense the forum ] but does anyone know where I can get BIOS updates without having to pay for them?

In fact, like tundraH said, the 2100+ cpu runs at 1.8 ghz, but it is comparable to a 2100mhz cpu, so it is called 2100+, but it is normal to see it run at 1.8ghz. It's just the name. Don't flash your bios without being perfectly sure of what you're doing, you can damage the motherboard. Btw msi is good, and bioses are freely downloadable, as long as it is really what you need.

You said that it _should_ be running at 2.1GHz, and it technically shouldn't. Please tell us your motherboard manufacturer/model and your current BIOS brand/version. Then we might actually be able to help you. (Irrelevant to this, but I put my FSB up by about 3MHz and it made my 2200+ unstable. Ah well.) I'm perfectly aware that it _can_ run faster.

If you dont know what your doing when flashing the bios you will have a dead mobo. If you want to overclock, and flash the bios, you need to get a clue 1st, honeslty.
