Did your board have this issue with not supporting your CPU? -

No. My E6850 worked on it.-

I wish mine was also a later revision. I called Newegg and they do
not do exchanges for a later version of this board. So I'm stuck
with having to update the BIOS. Never done that before. Would
anyone know if it can be done with the board outside the case or
is it best with it inside? Been to Intel's site and read up on the
process although it looks to be a little tricky using either a CD
to boot to or a USB stick. Anyone been down this road and could
help me? -

You were warned. The G33/35 chipset boards would have at least given
you a floppy drive.

Are you talking about replacing the hardware chip? I don't even see
one on my board. In any case, if that's what you're talking about,
you may as well hang it up. If you're talking about just fleshing
the BIOS with a CPU installed on the mainboard, that's easy.

If you want technical help, you're going to have to be a lot more
explanatory.

Good luck.


Are you talking about replacing the hardware chip?

No, not at all. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I would not even come close to
replacing anything sodered on the DP35DP. It just seems like a good
board to build a first computer on. I will just move on, learn, and
hope for anything good that comes of it. Thanks for all your help :)
