Asus A7A266 (1.03) Motherboard max CPU speed
Hi Paul,
I have an A7A266 1.03 also, and I recently flashed my BIOS too. (I upgraded my video card and wanted/needed to have the latest BIOS to make everything run right.) I'm running XP Pro as well, and still made the bootable floppy by right-clicking my A drive and selecting "Create an MS_DOS startup disk" from the Format menu! It worked like a charm, even though I was a bit nervous at first because it was my first flash. Hope this helps! -- Neil ¦¬D "Paul" wrote in message om... Hi Guys Thanks for the help I manged to find this really cool site that identifys AMD chips, http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/ht...roduct_id.html Anyway now ive got another problem im trying to flash the bios as described by ASUS http://www.asus.com.tw/support/engli...ios/index.aspx the problem is im using winXP pro and am supposed to do this 1)Create a bootable system floppy disk by typing [FORMAT A:/S] from the DOS prompt without creating "AUTOEXEC.BAT" and "CONFIG.SYS" files. 2)Copy AFLASH.EXE to the boot disk you created. 3) Run AFLASH.EXE from this new disk and select option [ 1. Save Current BIOS to File]. See 1. Save Current BIOS To File on the previous page for more details and the rest of the steps. 1) I cant create a bootdisk like that in XP so I have created one manualy with this files on it boot.ini, ntldr, ntdetect and addded aflash. When I run alfash.exe I get the error message "this program cant' run under proteted mode" anyideas to get around this? Thanks Paul RJT wrote in message ...

The model 10 has a different voltage I believe, and is not 266 but 333 Mhz - at least that is what I thought. A little googling will help you there. According to ASUS I cant upgrade higher than a 1.4 AMD thunderbird with my PCB 1.03. see below. True, and ASUS got it wrong, strangely enough. BIOS 1012 supports the model 8 Athlon's, even for the 1.03 board. I know because that is what I have (I've got a 2000+ though). GL RJT |
