Hi guys just wondering how I should go about updating my A8N-SLi Premium I havn't got a floppy disk drive I'm getting a 4200+ x2 processor and a BFG 640MB OC 8800GTS was wondering if they will work


Also the 8800GTS in the picture for some reason it looks like it may have some trouble with my mobo and case.. I've got a P180 and a A8N Premium has anyone else got this set up?


Edit: BTW I have just checked my Revision and its 1008

After having a look at a few pics gathered that it must fit just worrying but does anyone have any other idea about updating the bios I maybe able to get hold of a floppy disk drive if I have to and have only heard bad things about updating through windows?

Also I was reading on the site that a

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ revE4(Socket939) Works with 1005

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ revE6(Socket939) Works with 1006

What is the difference between the revE4 and E6 and how do you tell which one you have?

Well, for ASUS that's certainly the case.

But ASRock and DFI provide very stable software. I'd trust that more than I do a floppy disk.

I would imagine that his name is more reference to the Commodore 64 commonly known as the C64 which is afaik the most famous meaning for C64.
