| 23668 | 2001-11-05 08:02:00 | tip: don't upgrade the bios unless u need to. i had updated the bios but in testing the memory score was very low. i just reinstalled the old bios and the memory is better and it posts a lot quicker. my guess is the new bios slows down the board a tad to increase compatability. |

I'm looking at upgrading to WinXP, but the test from that website mentioned on the PCWorld site (can't remember what its called) said my BIOS might be too old (Sept 23 1999) it says it should be at least 2000... anyone know what kind of problem this might cause? Its a mid-2000 new computer. |
