Im new to all of this, but i have flashed already custom made bios's before. Im looking for someone that could add a couple of things to a old board that i have its a Asus P3V4X with a Award medallion BIOS v6.0 Revison 1006 beta 004. I installed a 1.4GHz Pentium III-s with a modded super slocket 3 adapter and it boots fine windows also reports it as a 1.4 p3-s, but the bios displays it as a intel pentium II 1400 MHz Processor and then another screen flashes saying "BIOS update data incorrect. CPUID=000006B1. Update not loaded" before it boots to windows xp. Is possible to add this microcode to the bios?
Also I have a cheap sata pci card with a VT6421A chip can the boot room for this be add to the p3v4x bios?
Thanks for looking at my post
Post screenshots of first (CPU) & third (Mainboard) tabs of CPU-Z with current CPU.
And show photos with "the bios displays it as a intel pentium II 1400 MHz Processor" and "another screen flashes saying "BIOS update data incorrect. CPUID=000006B1. Update not loaded"
Thanks for taking the time for checking out my post
Disregard the via VT6421A sata card integration, im only looking for cpu micro code integration
Ive taken a few extra pics as well and tossed them in rar file cause i really dont want to download a program on my slow internet to shrink the images.
Also notice how the bios displays the multiplier as 6.5x and cpu-z says 10.5x
I had to use plop to boot from usb on this old board was i supposed to create a freedos or msdos cause i went with freedos
it kept giving me a error writing to drive C: so kept hitting ignore
What is "Disk C: "? Disconnect it and retry.
Disk C is my hard drive with windows xp installed
Or try msdos instead of freedos
I unplugged the hard drive and redid the above and it still had the same errors could not write to c drive so i restarted the computer to try it with msdos, but i can't for the life my get the computer to even post

Try to install other CPU.
