TSGL: Dell Dimension - too slow

[The Computer Whisperer]

ok, in the same way that the RAM and the Processor work hand in hand
but are independent?

I think if there were going to be any issues with the chipset update
due to a bios that was too old and didnt provide the features, that
the chipset installer would warn you.

I've yet to see a Chipset driver update cause a problem, let alone
conflict with the bios.

I'm not out to create a stink by the way. just conversing :-)
