I tried searching for it and got some conflicting info. If it is what I think it is I may have a bios for it but you have to confirm to me if its a I840 Chipset with RDRAM AKA OR840?

No, it's the immediate preceding model with SDRAM. Maxes at 1 GB.

As far as I can find thru IBM Support, you're already on the latest available BIOS version

NUKT/NUJT43A:
SMBIOS: Fix "Invalid usage" message
Fix Virus Detection feature problem
Update CPU patch file
Support for addtional processor speed ratio bits
Fix POST halt with continuous beeps problem

Are you hoping a later BIOS might fix an issue with the system?

Not in particular... Although the video configuration section incorrectly reports the graphics card having 0 MB VRAM, I'm simply hoping to be on the latest version made for this machine, if there is in fact a later revision.

Can you link where you got that segment?

It's from a Google archive of this IBM support page

The previous quote is from the BIOS history at the end of the text file. I see a few posts online from users at your current BIOS revision level but nobody beyond it.

Interesting that IBM would continue to update the Pentium II version in successive years, but stop the Pentium III version at 2000. Maybe it was an inherently more robust platform, thus didn't need anything more?

Regardless, I still really like this machine. After I can get another CPU and some PCI expansions / upgrades in, I'm considering designating it as my primary.

Thanks for the help, all.
