need help finding a newer bios.

well i have look everywere and i have found nothing. i have also look in my bios for all my info aka bios serial and stuff so heres that:

product name compaq pc processor type amd athlon processor speed 1100/100 mhz memory size 512mb system rom family 786k1 chassis serial number 3d12jcc520dr primary drive 0 secondary drive 0

 

I don't see why you'd want to upgrade your BIOS, there's nothing to be gained from it, the system is too old to support a new CPU or anything like thar.

 

well the reason i want a new bios is because i want to overclock since there's no hope of me getting a new cpu, i know how to overclock its really easy but my old bios wont let me do so.

 

hehehehehe.. yeah.. that 1.1(sic) athlon by it's number is actually a 900 clocked to the max internally already. I clocked mine down to 900 and it actually seems to run faster. It's definitely a lot more stable.

I have 3 of these systems.. 2 non workers (blown cpu) and the one I clocked down.

There is a user hacked bios on wimsbios for this board.. but the max clock is 1.1.. it does add some more hdd entries into the drive tables tho.. so it's useful if you want to use it as a file server.

BTW.. these machines run debian and pclinux like absolute stars.. they struggle bad with xp.. seeming about the same as the top end of the p3's around the 800 mark..

 

yeah i used to have it as a dual boot on ubuntu but i will try your suggestion personally im a gamer and im pretty pissed cuz my old pc not this 1 but my older 1 had a Intel and it ran any game that i wanted and this since it has a old Amd athlon cpu its pretty crappy since its not capable like Intel is i mean im not puting Amd down well maybe i am but u know what the old amd systems kinda suck compared to Intel sorry for no punctuation but its kinda late and by the time i finished the message i noticed i didn't use any
