Equim P200: Which BIOS should I use 32 or 64bit?

I have an Equim P200 laptop and i want to upgrade the BIOS after getting an alert from the Tempo Toshiba software which recommends that i update.
I have downloaded the BIOS update, but when i expand the zip file, it gives a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version.
I am using Windows Vista Home which i believe is 32 bit, but my laptop has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 microprocessor.
Can anyone tell me which version i should use please ?
If i had to choose, then i would go for the 64 bit version since if think the BIOS is hardware and my microprocessor is 64 bit.
Thanks in Advance, Mark.

I attempted to install the 32 bit version. However, the following error message camen up :-
"The szie of the ROM file is incorrect !"
Then the windows 'Program Compatibility Assistant' window popped up which i cancelled.
I have double checked to ensure i have the correct download file. The Tempo assistant told me which file to download and i am sure that this laptop is an equim p200D (~it says so underneath).
Any advice ?

  • Neo2: Which bios should I use? And what's the deal with SATA?

    I'm fixing to put together a new box using the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum.  In taking various preparatory steps, I happened upon this forum.  I'm very alarmed by the apparent fact that there is not a single good bios out there yet.  1.2 reportedly sucks.  1.3 reportedly sucks.  Especially if one wishes to overclock, as I do.  I intend to go to 250+ FSB, 1:1.  People are reporting things like not even being able to increase the voltage adequately!
    Well, it seems a safe bet that some people have been able to overclock all they want, or else the Neo2 would not have achieved its generally accepted status as the best possible socket 939 motherboard, particularly for overclocking.  That means there's a bios out there that I'd be well-advised in using.  If it's not 1.2 or 1.3, what is it?  And what's this 1.52beta I've heard about which supposedly fixes everything?  Is that for a competely different board?
    Now, as for SATA.  I am going to be using a single SATA drive.  I've read something about how "3 & 4 are locked, but 1 & 2 aren't".  I am not able to translate that sentence into anything especially meaningful to me, but the gist seems to be that using a drive on the 1&2 port will, because of an Nforce3 bug, prevent one from overclocking past 230 FSB.  So, does this mean I will need to use the other SATA port for my single drive if I want to go past 230?  Or is this old news, long since fixed somehow?
    Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately I am not sure about the bios version.
    But with SATA and overclocking the speed is not locked on ports 1 & 2 but 3 & 4 are locked. Basically when you overclock your system and your drive may run into problems. As far as I am aware from what I have read in the forum there is no limit on OC'ing with the drive in 1 or 2 but you can get sporadic issues
    The general guideline is when overclocking use SATA ports 3 & 4.
    Hope this made a little more sense (it was difficult for me to put into words)

  • I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

    I am a student and need to do my assignments in word. Which application should I use as I have to save all of them in older word version like 2003 to send it to my teacher?

    You could use Microsoft Office for Mac, but I would recommend iWork! It's a better set of applications for a much better price. I have used both and I prefer it over Office. And Pages can not only open Word documents, you can also save documents in Word format. My brother and I both used iWork as an Office substitute when we were in college (I graduated a few years ago and he just graduated last night) and haven't had any compatibility issues.

  • I have down loaded Aurora,Beta4,firefox. Which one should i use

    I have down loaded Aurora,Beta4,and Firefox. Which won should i use.'

    That is up to you to decide. For some details about the different versions see https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2011/04/07/new-development-channels-and-repositories-for-rapid-releases/
    If you have not used to testing software you should stick with the release version (Firefox 4.0.1).

  • Which CPU should I use

    Hello,
    our company want to buy new computers for the developers.
    We have to use Windows XP as our OS because of third party products.
    We develop J2SE + J2EE.
    So my question:
    Which CPU should we use?
    I searched at google but didn't found any usefull sides about benchmarking an J2SE VM or J2EE VM.
    Intel or AMD?
    Are there some issues to be regarded?
    Is the behavior of the VM different if you use an Intel or an AMD? (X86)
    Our AppServer is JBoss 3.2.3.
    Has Intel ore AMD some magic improvements for the SUN Java VM?
    Any answer would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Oliver

    Olli_ger,
    Thanks for asking. To add more to the question, what about dual- and
    multi-processors, such as Opteron 2xx and 8xx processors?
    That is, can, and to what extent, does the Java compiler and the JVM
    utilize multi-processors? And how is this done? Threads parceled out?
    Using what algorithms? Are there "best practices" for writing code
    that can exploit these chips?
    Given the recent emergence of dual-core processors from both AMD and
    Intel I would think Sun would have a white paper on this, but I've not
    been able to find anything.
    As I'm about to build a new system, and am looking at a dual processor
    board that could take two dual-core chips, I'd really like to know.
    Thanks again for opening the issue.

  • Which listener should be used for JTextArea

    Hi,
    I need to add a listener for JTextArea particualy when
    the text in the jtextarea is changed. I don't think
    mouse listener is enough, since the user can use tab to
    get to the jtextarea and edit the text. In this case,
    which listener should I use. Sample code would be
    helpful.
    In addition, I have a problem with the jtextarea that
    when user uses tab to go to different gui components,
    such as jtextfield, jcombobox, jtextarea, jlist, etc, the
    tab stays in the jtextarea and keeps appending to it. It does
    not go to next component, such as jlist. How can I make it
    work?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pin

    It doesn't work. Are you using 1.4 or 1.3? I am using
    1.4.
    In the 1.4 API, it says that isManagingFocus is
    "Deprecated".
    Here is what I have:
    JTextArea descrptArea = new JTextArea() {
    public boolean isManagingFocus() {
    return false;
    descrptArea.setRows(3);
    descrptArea.setLineWrap(true);
    descrptArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    // DO SOMETHING
    I found the following code which says it will do it.
    However, I got the exeception:
    java.lang.ClassCastException:
    n: javax.swing.KeyStroke
    at java.util.TreeMap.compare(TreeMap.java:1081)
    at java.util.TreeMap.put(TreeMap.java:459)
    at java.util.TreeSet.add(TreeSet.java:205)
    Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('\t'));
    forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEven
    .VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys
    (KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    forwardTraversalKeys);
    Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
    backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEve
    t.VK_TAB,
    InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
    textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
    KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
    backwardTraversalKeys);
    Any idea???
    PinI'm not using 1.4 but the class cast exceptions look like they come from : Set forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet() etc
    try : TreeSet forwardTraversalKeys=new TreeSet()
    you cant cast from a Set to a TreeSet because a TreeSet is a Set but a Set is NOT a TreeSet.
    hope this helps.

  • Which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX

    Dear experts!
    Thank you for your attention!
    I am confused with text item (TATX).
    which situation should we use the text item with the item category TATX????
    Someone told me that the text item is dummy and should be used as a manual of certain standard item. But the manual may be a book or several papers and it also takes up some inventory not a dummy.
    So, could some body tell me what the text item (TATX) exact is and what function it has.
    Best regard!
    Tangdark

    Hi,
    you can use TATX if you like to enter a text and to print some information between the item lines.

  • Which object should i use ?

    Hi,
    I have a methode that returns several values of different types. Which objet should I use to return these values ? I thought of Vector but somebody told me that there is a better object than Vector.
    thanks for your help !
    Tex

    First, always use an interface over an object if it exists. So, your code should always declare the instance variable as List, not ArrayList or Vector or LinkedList. This allows the implementation to be optimized for the task at hand (e.g. LinkedList for arbitrary insertions or deletions of data, ArrayList for better Iterator performance, etc.) while using the interface for the common List methods (e.g., get(), add(), remove(), iterator(), etc.)
    Second, avoid Vector. Sun specifically states in the Collections tutorial that ArrayList is preferred over Vector.
