I am trying to see if your board supports SSE, there is nothing on the ecs website!

Have you looked in your BIOS to see if there is an option to turn it on?

StuMcBill

*!*EDIT*!*

After having another look it seems that ECS has disabled SSE on that board for some reason?

But you can enable it using a third party BIOS??

I don't know about you, but there is no way I would install a third party bios on my machine!!

I can post the links if you want, but hold no responsibility if you mess up your machine!!

that option on the bios

 

[StuMcBill]

that option on the bios

Well it looks like you will have to download one of the 3rd party BIOSes and upgrade!!

If you have little knowledge of computers i would NOT recommend upgrading your BIOS!!

Especially with a 3rd party BIOS!!

You could email ecs tech support I suppose!!

 

[GrayFoX]

ok, thanks

heh i went to work and only got to see your responce now ...

but i will say that it kinda blows that a mb maker will do this .. it's almost like selling cpu's that dont have a tiny little pice of solder so it runs at the next clock speed .. i mean , what company would do somthing like that.
