HE HE HE! That mobo yeah just sent me would support this proce3ssor. Here is info on the board http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=80&MODEL=MS-6390

Im not being held responsible if this damages yeah board, but here is the bios. If I was you I would send it to a pro...cause you cant even handle a windows 98 boot disk or installing drivers in win 98. So how the hell yeah gonna flash the bios? http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=80&kind=1
toyotaman, don't even think of overclocking it as you'll most likely fry the computer. i don't overclock my computer or any of my customers' computers because it is a timebomb just waiting to go off.
If per chance he decides to oc his pc and even successfully does it, then how much of a performance boost are we talking here. My guess is somewhere in the vicinity of what, about 10-12%. How much real difference will that make for you for the programs that you run. Not withstanding the fact that you're only shortening the life of your processor and may do irreparable harm to your mobo or other hardware which you might fry down the line from overheating.
youll be suprised at how little overclocking improves a pc lol, unless u spend serious money on cooling its not worth it, i only oced my system 1 because [bold]i could[/bold].
