Julio of 3DSpotlight Sends us word that they just got official word from Abit's UK offices that current KT7A rev 1.3 and KG7 motherboard will work with the XP processors but will need a BIOS update. Without BIOS upgrade, the boards may be able to boot up and run, but the SSE function will not activate. Also if the system is upgrading from T'Bird Athlon to XP Athlon, you are requested to re-install Windows. Otherwise, the SSE function will not work.
Older boards such as KT7A rev 1.2 won't work at all due to "hardware limitation".
The news has since been updated with a downloadable BIOS for the KT7A rev 1.3 motherboard, as usual if you feel you need to flash your motherboard (or passer-by's on the street for that matter) please do not hold us responsible if your computer breaches its warp core, or an old lady kicks you in the nuts.
1. Support AMD AthlonXP CPU. 2. HPT 370 RAID BIOS version 1.11.0402. 3. BIOS compile date: 10/12/2001.
Public health investigators were contacting Microsoft employees to determine who might have handled the letter, which contained pornographic material
Gov. Kenny Guinn confirmed the letter had been sent to the Microsoft Licensing Inc. office. He said Microsoft officials contacted health officials Wednesday.
Todd said the country health department and the FBI (news - web sites) were involved in the investigation, which began after one company employee got a returned letter that ``just didn't look right.''
The governor said Microsoft had sent a check in the letter to an unidentified vendor in Malaysia. The letter had been opened and returned to Microsoft, including the check. Pornographic material also was included. The contents appeared to have been moistened and dried, officials said.
Todd said the initial test on the letter's contents ``got a number of things growing, including bacillus, the genus to which anthrax belongs.'' He said that test produced results ``consistent with it being anthrax.''
The subsequent test was more specific to anthrax, but came back negative, officials said. The third test will use another approach to specifically look for anthrax, they said.
