| Upgrading to dual core Opterons is low cost affair HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE to update a modern Opteron system to a dual core machine? A BIOS update. What does that BIOS update do? On modern HP servers, not much, as you can see from the following list.µ New features and fixes: * Corrected the Bank Interleave setup item issue * Added Beep code for non-memory system errors * Updated CPU module for Dual Core CPU support * Update NB and CPU module for dual-core CPU support * (BIOS fail to support dual-core CPU) * Fixed a RedHat Linux problem with HPTimer * Added a Floppy drive B setup option * Updated NB module from 09_CR2 to 10_beta * Updated SiL3114 Option ROM to v5.048 * Added D0 and E0 CPU stepping support * Fixed an issue when using 8 x DDR400 modules with * D0 stepping CPUs * Corrected Voltage display info in HW monitor page * Add PXE Endless Boot support * Updated HT Config module from HTC_RC00 to * HTC.1.00 http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=22426
