Hi again.

I have been checking CPU compatibility on the gigabyte website for my
GAK8NF-9 mobo to see if it will take a AMD X2 4200+ Manchester socket
939. There is no yes or no it says instead lots of F numbers which the
key says "since Bios version" to run this CPU it looks like I need
version F7 or higher. I think I have amibios v6 or something like that
but after my mobo details on boot is shows F2.

I am confused about all this and need some advise. How do I know what
bios I have, can I flash this and is it risky?

Check the bottom right of your screen when you boot.
The BIOS revision is normally written there.
(For a very short time <g>.).


When the bios is displayed on the screen hit the Pause/Break key

Hi Jan, thought I`d help the OP learn a bit of speed reading <g>.



LOL ... It will take more than speed reading to accomplish what the
OP wants.
