| OK.. here goes First, you need 2 things: (a) The BIOS update (.bin file) and (b) flash utility/installer (usually called AFLASH or AWDFLASH). Second you need to create a bootable floppy for your system. Can't remember how to do it under XP but if you have a look at http://www.bootdisk.com/ then you'll find one ready to use. You then need to copy the .bin and the flash utility onto the floppy and reboot the system with the floppy in and follow the instructions which should say something like "Update flash memory from file" or "update system BIOS". Some notes... if it lets you backup your old BIOS then do it. Make a not of your CPU Mhz before you begin. --- fug
