I have an Asus motherboard that is quite old, but still serves me well. It's a M4A87TD/USB3. I have an AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor. I do some photo editing and the latest upgrade for my photo editing software recommends MMX Support, which I do not have right now.

Hi Folks, So, I have an old P8H77-I, it was running like a top until I went to put 16Gb of DDR3 in it. To do so, I went to update the bios from 0904 to the last 1102 from the support page.

Why would they do that ..read more
