    Is there a BIOS flash for P-6831fx which will let me undervolt and possibly add support for XP Mode in Windows 7?

    I thought I had seen a post somewhere pointing to such a BIOS, but I've searched a bunch and can't find it.

    Thanks :X

    i dont profess to be a fountain of knowledge but i do preach the age old adage:-

    "If it aint broke, dont fix it"

    bios flashing is rather tricky; if you simply want to undervolt....use programs such as RMClock/NHC/CPUGenie.

    As for XP mode, I'm pretty sure Win7 allows you to run programs in XP compatibility mode with a simple right-click and navigating through to the properties tab of the selected program icon.
