New BIOS for higher processor
Hello,
is it possible to change the BIOS of a Dimension 9200?
I want to change the CPU,so I need a BIOS.
My BIOS support only CPUs with a front side bus of 1066 MHz.
The new Dell PCs have sometimes a CPU with a fsb of 1333 MHz or 1600 MHz.
Can I change the BIOS or the Motherboard?

but can I take a dell motherboard from new Dell PCs which supports a 1333 MHz fsb?
I heard that Dell motherboards have an another size than normal motherboards.
At least in the Dimension 9200.
So can I take a XPS motherboard for example?

As for what fits in the case I can't comment.
I can tell you though that if you switch to a non-Dell motherboard you'll need to buy a new copy of Windows too, as the Dell copy is only license for the Dell system/motherboard.
