I paid $104. I also figured out how to flash the BIOS using a
bootable ISO CD from Intel's website. Without even loading the OS,
I now have the latest (0413) BIOS, my CPU now shows 3.0Ghz and 4GB
of ram. I thought I would have problems using this old BIOS (0293)
but it did stay stable until I updated. Now I can feel a little
better about loading Windows Vista with a current BIOS. Thank you
for your help. JackD-

So 0293 did recognize your CPU, just not every function of your CPU.

Yea, glad it worked out the way it did.
Maybe you or anyone reading this could help me on this question. I have
a single SATA HD that I want to load Windows on. What would I set it to
in the BIOS to install Windows? There is a Drive Configuration menu
that says configure SATA as... IDE, RAID or AHCI. Mine is set to IDE.
Also there is a setting for ATA/IDE Configuration. Disable, Legacy, or
Enhanced ( or Native). Mine is set to Legacy but wondering if it should
be set to Enhanced (native) The HD is a Seagate 250GB SATA HD. Thanks!
