I'm in the process of changing my existing case modification with the am2 x2 5000 black edition that I recently acquired myself. I am now running an am2 x2 3800 and it is getting very slow. I want to make the jump but I don't want to have to flash the BIOS.

Should I just pop the cpu in and hope for the best or Flash? What utility did you use and how successful was it? How did you get it your cpu to post at 3.01 GHz?

Thanks,

Hopsingthis]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20035018 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 02:24:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19925304 CovMac : New Build:
