Dimension 4400 BIOS upgrade with CPU upgrade??
Hello all:
I am planning on upgrading my system CPU to a P4 2.8GHz 400FSB in the near future. I have done a 'board search' of BIOS upgrades for my model and have read the great postings. Just trying to make sure I don't have any 'surprises' when I install the CPU. Is anyone aware of a need for BIOS upgrade for my system? Any other pearls of wisdom also appreciated.
Thank you for any information,
B4runo

Thanks for the A06 BIOS info. I was trying to cover all of my bases. Your info is much appreciated.
I have been posting, searching, viewing the Dimension - Upgrade Hardware forum for some time now. It was there that I recently found out about renewed availability of the P4, 2.8GhHz, 400FSB, 512K processor at newegg. And for a more reasonable price, to boot! I know that my system is getting somewhat dated, I am trying to infuse a little more life into it. There have been some excellent and informative postings about CPU upgrades on the forum. SpongeBob, in particular, has a great upgrade site for 8200s, and much of that same info is applicable to the 4400 model (with some notable exeptions). Recently 'dankirk' and 'Props' posted some great threads about 8200 upgrades. Forum members should check them out if they are interested.
Grazie again for your time,
