Hardware is A64 3500+, MSI Neo Plat2 with XP90 HSF, and 6800Ultra with NV5 silencer... WD Raptor, etc...
Did the first boot tonight and all was good. Fans ran, got a "beep" and was able to steer into the bios.
Now what?
2 questions...
1) How do I tell what bios version I have? I believe that I need to go to something new with this MoBo as it does well on 1.36 but how do I know what I'm starting with...?
2) To flash the bios, I need a floppy drive which is hooked up and has power? Once I get a blinking cursor, can I just do a: and flash the MoBo...?
What are my next steps?
I was thinking to flash the MoBo first, then add my next 512 RAM (I have 512 in now) and then my sound card, then IDE drive, etc...
