I should have thought to ask what sort of CPU Jack might be running, a very important consideration Jack. And, of course you have highlighted the configurability of the AMD as opposed to some other chips of poorer design ]:) Cheers Murray ;P |

| 283433 | 2004-10-21 21:46:00 | Murray the part about AMD was more of a dig at Jack, we all know hes a Intel fanboy at heart ;) He did mention right at the top he has a P4 and the motherboard is also a socket 478 model. There are alot of third party BIOS's out there, the majority are for AMD systems but there are some for Intel. Generally as a rule of thumb they dont increase performance, only unlock hidden features etc. The third party BIOS im using on my NF7-S at the moment has a few tweaks for the RAM that allow me to overclock a lil further and also offer small performance increases, nothing noticable but they do exist. Unless your a ubber tweaker then there no real reason to bother with third party BIOS's just keep up to date with official manufactuer BIOS's, sure as hell dont pay money for them :). |
