how to update bios?
i have GA P35 S3G

 

[hunt3r]

A bios update tool should be included on your motherboard cd.

Coz the Q9400 is a relatively new motherboard, it might not recognize the processor correctly and thats why i guess windows is also reporting it wrong.

I thought that that Intel Core2Quad Q9400 was a Socket LGA775 Intel's Quad-Core processor.. :rofl:
