I am attempting to upgrade the CPU on my Gateway GT5662. My search has concluded that I should be able to put an AMD Athlon II x4 645 as a few other people have been able to do it. My concern is the BIOS version. Mine is Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 12/14/2007
MB is MCP61PM-GM AM2 mATX
It is version 2.1.
The eMachine website has a BIOS update for the ET1331g which uses the same MB, while Gateway's site has nothing for my GT5662.
I have even called Gateway and they do offer support for BIOS updates.
I realize it's a old PC but it still performs well enough to drop less than $100 on a new chip...if it'll work.
Do you have any suggestions or updates I could use? I'm not in the realm of modding or Overclocking yet, just something so the new chip will work. (even if that means a modded BIOS version) Thanks!
