I have an HP Pavillion s7747.de. The motherboard of this Computer is ASUS A8MN-BR. This board is produces only for HP and you can't find anything about it on the ASUS homepage. Unfortunately you can't adjust very much in the BIOS. Is it possible to unlock this BIOS? I do not need overclocking options but it would be interesting changing the SATA-controller to AHCI (instead of IDE-mode). And it would be nice to update the CPU-Microcode (I always see "unknown AMD CPU 2x 2600 MHz" on the startup screen). Is it possible to modify the BIOS for newer CPUs e.g. Athlon II or Phenom (I tryed Athlon II once but only got black screen)?
