Don't own the P2B myself but you could try the Asus newsgroup: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (online at: http://www.deja.com/[ST_rn=fs]/group/alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus ) There's also Asus' own forum - 'NetQ', I think, at their own site.

Subject: [L-OT] Help with Asus P2B processor upgrade
Hi P2B/LAWP users!
I'm presently running LAWP/2408 MK II on ASUS P2B/ Windows 98/ P II 350/
256 RAM/ 6 gig (prog.) /30 gig Maxtor ( Audio).
Everything is running well but since I whant to use softsynths in the
future, I whant to upgrade my P II 350 to a P III 800.
According to Asus, (www.asus.com/products/techref/chipset/p3cpu.html)
I will have to flash the BIOS (presently 1006) to 1011 or later...fine,
but they say that I need "PCB Revision R1.12 or later."
How do I check the PCB revision?
I checked at boot-up, checked on the ASUS shipping box, checked in the
manual,
checked on the board itself...??? ;(
Thank you for any help...
André

I still say it will be there somewhere. If it is a PCB rev then it has to be marked on the PCB somewhere.

The board will be marked at about the center with the P2B-? model number,, the revision is on the right and just below of that marking,,,I also have a P2B-S that I run with Logic and I am quite happy with it,, I run a PII 400 overclocked to 448 and it runs all my synths fine,,I also made contact with ASUS and they told me that the motherboard will only handle up to a PIII 600 and that all their BIOS for this board will not go over that,, I hope that your info os coorect since I would not mind going up to an 800 if possible,,, Please make contact with me at my email so we can help eachother out on upgrading,, Laters --- In logic-ot@y..., "Dave A" <dart@i...> wrote: > keep lookin > ----- Original Message ----- > From: André Tremblay > To: logic-ot@egroups.com > Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2001 4:12 AM > Subject: Re: [L-OT] Help with Asus P2B processor upgrade > > > NO...the only sticker on the board is "MIC 26930" > no Rev. number... > André > > Phil Angus a écrit : > > > > André Tremblay wrote: > > > I will have to flash the BIOS (presently 1006) to 1011 or later...fine, > > > but they say that I need "PCB Revision R1.12 or later." > > > How do I check the PCB revision? > > > > Simply have a look on the surface of the motherboard, it will be clearly
