i got a HP comp dropped on my front step during the summer, and i looked at it, and it seemed pretty good, but i had no use for it at the time. so i ripped it apart, gave away what people needed and was left with the motherboard and a keychain (1.6ghz celly).

i need to kno what Intel motherboard it is (bios flash). i got a cpu from a member here for a folding rig (wont say name, so people dont do what i did and ask) and i would rather have a newer BIOS in it when i boot it up.

i was thinking it was this board, but am not completely sure

anyone know for sure?

EDIT: i went to the product support part in HP and it says theres a BIOS update there. and it says its a GL VE (not the GLVA i linked above). i would ratehr have a intel bios instead of a HP bios, so are the 2 boards the same?

If you have the service tag #, use it to get the latest BIOS from HP...not all HP machines have Intel boards in them...they use all differant board makers like Foxcon and Asus ect ect
