Hi,
I have an MSI mainboard, and I don't have the manual, however at boot
time, the details are:
W6156MS V1.2 022599
I would like to add either an 80, 100 or 120 Gb HDD to this computer.
The MSI site doesn't give any details (that I can find ??) on the
'6156' model, so I can't tell if the mainboard will be able to handle
the larger drives.
I guess part of this may be a BIOS upgrade, the details are:
===========================================
Award BIOS found : Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
Award ID-String : 10/20/1998-i440BX-W977-2A69KM4GC-00
Board/BIOS-Version : W6156MS V1.2 022599
OEM : MICRO STAR
URL : http://www.msi.com.tw
Chipset : i440BX-W977 //Intel 440BX
============================================
Hoping someone can advise the maximum sized HDD I can put on this
mainboard (after a possible bios upgrade).
Thanks,
Peter
