Upgrading from single-core to dual core 939

[slash196]

I already know that I'll need to flash my BIOS, is there a particular one that other NF4 ultra-d users would recommend? And are there any other things I need (like that AMD dual-core driver i remember hearing about)?

the 7-04BTA bios is the best available. Get it here: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22031

Could I get that BIOS in its simple form anywhere else? I prefer to flash the old fashioned way: from a bootable floppy.

Here's a direct link to the NF4 Ultra-D BIOS page, on DFI's website: link. I use the top one, and haven't had a single problem. Of course, I'm also not trying for 3 Ghz, either. For that high of an OC, you'd probably need Tmod's BIOS.

I just upgraded to an opty 165 from an opty 144. I used the 7-04BTA bios on TMODS CD. I've been using TMOD's CD's for awhile only time I had an issue with a BIOS flash was when I chose the wrong file. His CD is great. Anyway here is a helpful link on the drivers.
