Flashing my bios

[Spazzy]

I have an Epox 7KXA 200 fsb mobo and I want to update the bios to see if it will make if run any faster. BUT, im not having any problems with it now, so should I NOT flash it?
Also, (2nd question). I am looking at a board with a 333 FSB. Is it worth spending the extra money to go up to that speed from a solid running Asus with a 266 FSB? how do I find a processor with 512 cache? where do they start at that speed? Thanks

That's more than 2 questions! BZZZZZZ! Game over!


1. No. It won't make your board faster, but it may add features like (ahem) DDR333 support. Just do it!

2. Yes - if your board supports the 166MHz Athlons. It's not just the speed - the Thoroughbreds run much cooler and overclock much easier.

2a. You look. The ones labeled "Barton" have 512KB cache.

2b. 2500+

2c. No more questions!
