Anyone know where I could find Bios version 10 (I think P10 is the full
name)... for the Intel Motherboard D815EEA?  The latest is 11, which I have,
and I understand version 10 will allow you to upgrade to a Tually 1.2-
version 11 will not - which I have tested and verified.. thank you!

I don't know about that particular motherboard, but in the past I've
done the folowing:

Go to intel's website, go through the motions of downloading the
latest BIOS, but don't...  Note the FTP path of the file, FTP into
that directory and see what older bios versions are still available.

FOILED!  Ok, it wouldn't allow me to install P10... 'invalid for my
system'.... could it be because I have P11 and it would not let one go
backwards??? If so, how do I get to P10?  I didn't expect this obstacle!

Thanks again...

The BIOS you downloaded was not for your motherboard.  The BIOS you downloaded
was for the Intel D815EEA2.

BIOS revision P10 for your D815EEA can be found here:

Thank you! This type concerns me a little in that I am not sure how to flash
using this type of file..as in from DOS... where the other type of download
(such as two P11's currently posted at Intel's site)- one can use the
Windows version (simple - as for me!) or the DOS version, such as the one
you posted...

Can you explain the steps real quickly how to make a DOS disk- (boot up I
assume) - windows has made me rusty!...thanks!

The EA-P10.EXE file is a self-expanding zip file.  Copy this file to a new
folder.  Change to that new folder, run EA-P10.EXE, and five files will be
extracted into that folder.  The README.TXT file contains instructions.

FORMAT A: /U/S will format a disk unconditionally and copy the required 
system files, in win 9x or DOS that is.

You are better off booting to DOS from a disk rather than flashing while in 
windows.  Much less chance of something to go wrong.  Of course, with Intel 
boards it is difficult to royally fsck up the system from a bad flash 
because there is always a jumper you can set on the board which will 
automagically load a image from a floppy.  Not that it is *impossible*, but 
I have never done it, and I have done some stuff I really shouldn't have...

Thanks Steven.. worked perfectly--- again thanks!   Lemme back up to where
my confusion was.... I have a mix of PC's here.... When doing BIOS upgrade
on the 2 Dells, Dell has 2 programs- one that creates the boot/bios disk
exactly as the one you linked me to, the other is just the BIOS file where
you'd need to create a boot disk and add the file to it......

I assumed the 2 at Intel's where the same... I now understand the 2 Intel
offers are: one that works thru Windows and the other creates the DOS boot
disks w/bios.

All worked perfectly - and I'm now at P10... again, thank you!

Watch out with this BIOS update.  How do you plan on getting this to work?
The 815EEA supported procs list
(http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D815EEA/ea_proc.htm) only
goes up to 1.0 GHz.  Did they mess up with the rev 10 release and unlock up
to 1.2 GHz?

I tried the same thing with an EEA board and it didn't work.  I have an EEA2
board with an updated BIOS, but it doesn't work either because it's not the
proper revision code (you can check this via a label on the board or use
SiSoft Sandra).  The problem is that the protocol and pin layout was changed
between Coppermine and Tualatin processors.  I don't think falling back a
BIOS rev is going to help.  If it does, let me know.

All is not lost (especially if you already own the proc like I do).  I found
the article below and have ordered one of these socket converters.

Worked perfectly! But it's not totally the BIOS...

I bought a ppga/ppga2 Upgradeware 370GU adaptor (www.upgradeware.com) from
Stratton Computer thus enabling me to use a 1.2G P3 Tualatin. The adaptor
goes for about $34 - it's better than Powerleap because theirs is limited to
supporting only one particular 815 chipset- and they themselves do not
recommend their socket adaptor for this board (they do have another that is
much more expensive)... Upgradeware's does a better job of setting the
voltage to 1.5 volts..(see write up in Tom's Hardware). The BIOS issue comes
into play because it seems that P11 limits the CPU you can use back to
1.0G.. if it sees 1.2, it will display a warning during post and shut down.
By going back to P10, it worked! It saw a 1.2 P3 - as did SANDRA and
Belarc.. to date that PC works great... total layout was about $140- the 1.2
P3 I bought was an open box from Googlegear for $95 +s/h. I did this on both
my D815EEA and my Compaq... for me it was easy versus a whole new mobo and
all that...
