Hello All.....
Newbie here asking a newbie question.
I bought my system (specs below) in 2000 and have never updated my mobo, bios, hard drive etc. etc etc
Ive been upgrading my system best as i can, and sure would like to update my board, and chipset and whatever else I can.
I just installed a ge fx 5700ultra and have the new 5304 drivers and have done the same with my audio.
I goto intel to look at updating my board ( & chipset..?), and I cant seem to find the exact one I need and am afraid to start messing with the mobo, if Im not sure.
Is there a way to update the mobo and bios at the same time..??? Pretty good at understanding the language of computers, but the d/l'ing at intel scares me.
thanks for all your help....
