i was reading on the forums about someone who had a asus p2b using the bios for my mobo the asus p3b-f. i forget why he used this teqnique, but it poses interesting possibilities for me. anyone got any ideas as to what bios from a newer but similarly featured asus board bios switch for my board. i am looking for faster fsb speeds, and possibly a multiplier change even given the intel locked cpu buisiness.
if not, anyone have any ideas on an asus board that is newer,cheap, and has at least 5 pci, 1 agp, 3 or 4 memory slots, and supports the pentium III 800E coppermine? it has to be a slot 1 board or something compatible with that type of chip.
either way, i am still hunting for performance. i have one more question... what would happen if i put an award bios chip in my computer that came from an old 450mhz amd athlon board? i have already removed the chip, but have done nothing with it. it is a perfect match to the award chip already in my machine. i figure the best it would do is crash, anybody out there KNOW what would happen?
thanks wisdom.
