You can't be serious.....right? ;-) The CPU is the "brains" of a PC and you must have it to do anything. You must have the CPU, memory and power supply as the bare minimum to boot up a mobo, and of course a video card to SEE what's going on.
In your case to find out the BIOS #, it may take a few tries of hitting the "pause/break" key to halt the POST process. Sometimes the BIOS # is at the top of the screen right after the BIOS logo, sometimes it's at the extreme bottom. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Carnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello, I've never tried this and don't want to damage the motherboard, but can you fire up a motherboard with just a video card and no processor to see what the BIOS revision number is? The MB is an ASUS A7A266. I would like to know what the BIOS is before purchasing the processor. Thanks, Roger Carnell ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
