"If it ain't broke, don't attempt to fix it!!" A good computer maxim - why do you want to update the MB and "chip" (I assume you mean the BIOS????). IF you do really mean the BIOS then I would suggest you leave well alone unless you know what you are doing!

I agree with{Ray Peate!!!"If it ain't broke, don't attempt to fix it!!"If you update you bios wrong,you may be buying a new motherboard.

oh ite but what abuot the vid card problem. I tried updating it and it slows down my computer. Any thuoghts on that?

If you install a newer driver and it causes problems, go back to the older version. The newest is not always the best. I agree with the others. "If it ain't broke, don't attempt to fix it!!"

Ite thxs guys
