Hi guys, I've been reading your forum with abandon for a while now, and am the proud owner of the fol:

P200MMX, Voodoo
Optiplex G1, P3 500, V2 SLI
Tualatin 1.4, D815EEA2, Geforce 3
XP3200+, FX5900XT
Q6600, 8800GTX

I'm having a blast with all of them, but I've never gotten the Tualatin working in either a D815EEA2 or D815EEA. I have a modded Tualatin from EBay. Problem is, I get a quick post with either motherboard stating CPU unsupported, shutting down in 10 seconds. Both BIOS have latest version (which I believe is the problem).

After much Google-Fu, I noted one post on another forum about a guy getting a message from the original seller stating BIOS P14 should work with these CPUs.

Does anyone have a copy of this BIOS?

I'm only on P11, so can't help you out, but does your version of the board have the 4 LEDS for troubleshooting?

My non-2 version does, yes. It's not in the system right now, though. Swapped in the D815EEA2 today.

Could I grab a copy of P11 from you? What processor are you currently running it with? Thanks.

I believe these are BIOS versions P13 and P15 for the D815EEA2

from the file EA81520A.86A_archive.zip
downloaded from here

I could not find P14 either .

Wow! Thanks, guys! I won't be able to flash until Thursday, but I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm running an 800EB and it looks like darry has your sorted already on firmware.

P15 worked! 1.4GHz. In a fit of joy, I upgraded a Geforce3 to a Geforce4 ti4200. Running 3DMark2001SE now.

Thanks, guys!

I've been requested to see if I can extract the default Intel BIOS boot splash logo. Does anyone know how to do this?

edit: 8482 w/ Geforce ti4200 on 3dmark2001SE

I know this is an old thread, but It helped me and i would like to add more information.

I have a 815EFV which is a microATX version of the 815EEA2, also is one of the first revisions, so is not officialy compatible with P3-S.

I bought from eBay a moded p3 1266.
With BIOS version P21 I had image but the "unsupported CPU" message.
With BIOS P19, no image, no beeps. Like if it's dead.
With BIOS P17 It worked without problem so I think this is the last compatible version to use those moded p3-S.

BIOS are the same for EEA2 and EFV and no integrated graphics versions of both.
I found a list of almost every version on theretroweb.com.
On the EEA2 page, you can download the "Express Install" versions, which are .exe installables from Windows. I used those on Windows XP SP2.
On the EFV page, you can download the same versions but the diskette ones.
