    heres a link to the latest bios for ur board, http://www.epox.com/USA/article.asp?ID=1491

    once u extract the files, there is a README.TXT in there.

    The Boot Disk Method

    1. Create a bootable floppy disk in accordance with the instructions
    laid out in the manual of your particular operating system. This
    bootable floppy needs to be able to boot to a DOS console capable of
    executing normal MS-DOS batch and executable files.

    2. Download and extract the xxxxxxxx.EXE file corresponding to your
    model from the EPoX website to the floppy. It will self extract into
    the above listed files.

    3. Boot using your DOS floppy disk to the ‘A:\>’ command prompt. At the
    DOS command prompt type: UPDATE

    4. The BIOS will automatically flash.

    5. Reboot the machine.

    6. After this, press DEL to enter the BIOS setup and select to "LOAD
    OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS". After doing this select to "SAVE & EXIT."

    Note: During the use of UPDATE a backup of your original BIOS
    date/code will be saved in the same directory as the UPDATE file. It
    will be called ‘OLD.BIN’ and can be used with the restore
    instructions below in case you need to revert back to the original
    BIOS date/code.

    yes, a allready have the latest bios. The bios recognises the processor as AMD K7. I know, it is probably the same in performance, but i would like to mod my bios, so i would recognize the cpu right. I thin it is something to be done in cbrom.
