Re: Asus A7N8X xpu question

From what I am reading on the cpu support page for A7N8X is that if you
have board version 1.04 or higher and bios 1004 then this chip should
work..here is the info below..is this wrong?


A7N8X

CPU
Since PCB
Since BIOS
Note

Athlon XP 3200 (400 MHz FSB)(Model 10)(Barton) 1.04 1004
If your motherboard BIOS version number is greater than
the BIOS version listed above, then you will not need to flash your BIOS.
However, if your BIOS version is smaller than the version listed above, then
you will need to select and download the latest BIOS to update your system.
We kindly remind you that there is a certain risk level involved in BIOS
flashing, please refer to "BIOS Flashing Method ". If you still have doubts,
we will strongly advise you to consult with a PC Professional or your PC
dealer for further assistance.
