| I did this with an older Compaq, I found the actual MFG's name and model on the mobo and went to their (Gigabyte) website. I was able to sucessfully flash it to a newer, non shitty BIOS. I was hoping to be able to adjust ti to always turn on after a power fKitten Yiffer, but no such luck. The bios had SOME options for memory timing, but naturally, no overclocking options whatsoever (these were done by jumpers on the mobo, and the mobo max was 500MHz, the proc was a 475 - you do the math xD) However, ALL NEW DELL STUFF is proprietary. I would imagine most, if not all the old stuff is as well. You need to check to see if you can find a mobo MFG/model #, it MAY be covered with a Dell sticker.

| Proprietary = non-standard. Generally developed and used by only the originating company. Example: the GameCube's disc format is proprietary--no other console or [publically available] drive can read it. | |||

| Example: Dell's fan (plugs), Dell's power supplies and cables/connectors, Dell's cases, Dell's system format (I call it "fuATX" for "Fucked-up ATX"). Their motherboards are usually proprietary to fit these absurd, custom systems. | |||

| I remember working on some proprietary Compaq or Packard Bell mini-tower a few years ago...it had boards in both the bottom and the side of the case (the side board was plugged into a slot on the narrow board at the bottom). A two-piece motherboard. WTF was that all about? I currently have an ancient desktop-case Compaq that's kind of similar, with a riser card sticking out of the motherboard that the PCI devices plug into (you can only have two or three cards installed at once). The card is fastened to a metal "wall" that separates the hinged drive bay and power supply from the rest of the case. The cables to the drives are all stuffed into this little conduit running under the wall, which is impossible to work with unless you pull the entire case apart...ugh...  |
