In most situations, the CPU can still be Overclocked. There are several programs available that allow you to OC without having to enter the BIOS. Two of the most common are CPUFSB and CPUCool These programs may not work on all motherboards, and this guide does not go into detail of how to use them. Some motherboard manufacturers also include overclocking tools, Giga-Byte for example bundles EasyTune with most of it's motherboards.

There's a workaround available now and it is enabled automatically if your system uses this chip. For the details refer to the manual page of the disk driver (man 4 wd). If you are already running FreeBSD 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 with a CMD640 IDE controller and you want to use the second channel, build a new kernel with options "CMD640" enabled. This is the default for 2.2.5 and later. See similar questions...

We recommend using the newer ATA 66/100/133 cables in order to achieve the best system performance. These ATA cables have 3 colored connectors with each connector having a specific purpose. Be sure to plug the correct connector into the appropriate device. The black connector at the other end is for your master device, usually the hard drive you boot from. See similar questions...

BIOS are designed specific to each motherboard. VIA can only supply BIOS The Basic Input/Output System is the program that microprocessors use to start computer systems. It manages data flow between the computers operating system and attached devices such as the hard disk, video card, keyboard, mouse, and printer. for VIA branded mainboards. Information for VIA EPIA and VB series mainboards can be found here. Click on your board model for more information. See similar questions...

The latest BIOS releases for FIC motherboards, are all posted in our BIOS Update section (select model name first). They are updated regularly. The newest BIOS version includes all the improvements of the older BIOS versions for the same BIOS type and PCB version of the motherboard. Please read the BIOS Update Procedure in full (including the tips at the bottom of the page) before all BIOS upgrades. See similar questions...

If you cannot find the maker's name on or in the computer, in the copyright notice displayed during POST, or in the owner's manual, then you are out of luck. Phoenix does not make computer systems. There is no reliable way for Phoenix to determine the original manufacturer. The numbers listed on the BIOS sticker on the motherboard do not identify the BIOS version or the manufacturer of the system. See similar questions...

Identify your motherboard make & model by using the Award or AMI Numbers page to compare your BIOS id string to the ones in our database. See similar questions...

Answer: Not really. New BIOS revisions, are created to correct or improve compatibility for certain devices or configurations. If your system is working without any prob See similar questions...

Some ASUS motherboards have a 47 ohm resistor at R232 on the motherboard that reduces the power supply for USB devices to an inadequate level. The solution is to use a powered USB hub that will provide the proper power to the USB device. Isn't technology great? Many times simply re-installing your controller software (the latest version) will restore function. Other times its a bit more complicated. You may want to contact the manufacturer to see if they have published an updated driver. See similar questions...

You can't. The third and fourth IDE controllers cannot be used--only the first two IDE controllers are supported. See similar questions...

Because some games don't support the analog sticks, or a certain mode, you might find that the controller just doesn't work at all. Try switchng your controller to another pad mode in the pSX configuration. Most older Playstation games were not programmed to be able to accept the analog signal that a DualShock controller uses. This is not a limitation of pSX, but rather a limitation of the games themselves. See similar questions...

The answer is yes and no. The computer's battery provides power for the BIOS settings when the computer is powered down. The BIOS includes a date and time clock that keeps time when the computer isn't running. The real time clock in ClockCard uses its own battery power when the computer is off. This maintains the time but does not supply battery power to retain BIOS settings. See similar questions...

Before flashing you have to disable Byte Merge in the Award BIOS. Not doing this will kill your motherboard BIOS. This behavior has been seen on the ASUS P3V4X and K7V motherboards when using ASUS own aflash.(It may not be limited to ASUS alone.) See similar questions...

If you do not have a regular 3.5" 1.44MB floppy drive installed, then go into the BIOS, Standard CMOS Setup, and set "Floppy Drive A:" to Not Installed. Next, also in Standard CMOS Setup, you need to set the drive type to FLOPTICAL. For example, if the LS-120 drive is installed on the secondary IDE channel as a slave device, then set the Sec Slave option in the BIOS to FLOPTICAL. See similar questions...

Currently no any ways to work with hard drives, connected to RAID controller, because they work thru RAID BIOS and we don't have direct access to them. See similar questions...

Windows communicates with the various devices in your computer using drivers. One of these drivers allows it to read the hard disk, which leads to an interesting chicken-and-egg situation: How does Windows read the hard disk in order to load the driver that allows it to read the hard disk? The answer is that during the very earliest part of the boot process, the hard disk is visible in a primitive way through the BIOS. See similar questions...

Currently 250 GB and larger drives are supported (up to 2 TBytes per drive). Please check http://www.3ware.com/support/sys_compatibility.asp for the latest 3ware approved hard drives. DM supports media scan for all drives attached to the controller. Any ECC errors will be logged in the alarms page. Drives displaying excessive ECC errors should be replaced.

Inexpensive due to high volume of production and simplified firmware development and testing requirements. Very limited device attachment (two drives (including CDROMs) per channel, and two channels per system max.) (Recent versions of Linux (and I hear Win NT) support four or more ATA adapters) CPU is tied up transferring all data (actually newer EIDE controllers can do DMA as well if special drivers are loaded) Performance level is lower than a similar sized SCSI drive in a given year.
