updating Bios??

[Chuck & Karen]

Okay I have updated my:

sis 650_651_M650_740 display driver (video card),
sis graphics port,
sis pci ide udma controller,
c-media ac97 audio device,
sis 900 pci fast ethernet adapter

I am still having freezing problems...just short bursts...but enough to
yank my chain while trying to play games... it seems alittle better than
before I updated..but it is still there....may be I should give up and take
to store...but I hate too.. when it is something I WANT to learn to fix...

my other messages were "updated to DirectX9.0c" on May 6, 2005 and "computer
freezes during games" on May 3 2005
again I have not downloaded anything ....I have checked fans for
overheating...
any other ideas would be appreciated...I know someone said something about
the ram...exactly how can I check to see if I need more ram....or is it
memory...I have 512 mb?? two stixs of 256...

Try going to run,typeXDIAG Run the direct X tests.If a sis 650_651 display
adapter is on the board,thats probably part of the problem.Most on-board only
have 8mb of video memory for them,get a agp or pci video card with as much
memory as available,the least expensive start with 64mb of memory.Games,
and video use alot of memory,even the 512 of ram is considered minimal,1024
will get you improvements along with a 256mb video card,ati are v.good.If
there's
a BIOS update,update the BIOS,they dont come up with updates for nothing....
