msi-6714

barry, i hate to say this but updating a bios is not for noobs, either find
a geek friend or dont do it at all, when it comes to the bios, if it aint
broke dont fix it.

as for your fsb question, the quick answer is no, theres a *but* cuz it can
with oc, therefore, no. Never judge your mobo by the picture, look down
inbetween the pci slots, there should be a MSI-xxxx # down there, thats how
you tell what kind of mobo you have.

Thanks for advice!
No worries about updates done it many times.
The point I am trying to make here is Both boards are same number, yet
dramatically different, the obvious telltale sign is the appearance...
Does anybody from MSI frequent this ng?!
I seem to have gone down the middle of two popular variations, there is a
note on the website about models varying in different areas (demographics?)
I would like to know exactly what i am dealing with.
Is there software listing fsb maximum that i do not have with msi's cd?
(thier software utilities doesnt tell me this).
oh, the version at boot is 1.2 (post) the board is 1.0, like the other
variants.
I'm a six year newbie!
