(MoC) Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 From the way I can read your text I can't understand what the hell you are trying to do....... I wouldn't hack until reading some more guides and risks. This IS NOT a "hey let me mod my compy" 3 step process!

apowerr Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Don't hack your BIOS, just flash it... Also are you sure motherboard supports the processor you purchased? What processor in particular was it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77129-hack-my-bios/#findComment-545109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagal Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Okay if Dell says their motherboard does not support C2D then what leads to believe that it does? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77129-hack-my-bios/#findComment-545126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddM Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Did Dell tell you to upgrade your BIOS, or are you just deducing that for yourself? If they did tell you to update or change it, get back on the phone with them as I'm fairly sure they'll tell you where to procure such a BIOS.

deathanarchist2 Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 no they told me to send it in so they could do it them selfs for 150 $cause they have to edit the bios to accept the c2d Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77129-hack-my-bios/#findComment-545180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddM Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 This sounds to me like that even though your mobo can accept a c2d chip, they're simply not releasing the BIOS software needed in order to make some extra cash in the service department. If that's so, then I'm afraid your only option is to send it in to them and fork out the cash -- or be prepared to dispense a lot of whining down the phone to them to give it to you.

stellarola Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 no they told me to send it in so they could do it them selfs for 150 $cause they have to edit the bios to accept the c2d For a $150, just buy a new motherboard that supports core2. -Stell Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77129-hack-my-bios/#findComment-548196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonestonne Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 for $150, you could buy a new mobo, and a C2D, and forget your existing board/CPU. the worst thing to do when buying a new computer is thinking its good enough, and you'll never want to upgrade. second worst thing to do when buying a new computer is buying a dell.
