New Gigibyte mother board

[Karl F. Larsen]

    I did a lot of Google Search to find the right AMD cpu chip for my 
new computer. It is on order and should be here next Thursday at the 
latest. I know it will fit and run so that is no problem.

    But I read a wiki about my cpu and it said the running a cpu 
designed for a MD3 socket in a MD2+ socket may cause some sort of BIOS 
problem. Well that is odd because on my computer BIOS has a CMOS memory 
chip which is kept working by a small battery. What does BIOS do with 
the cpu? I understand it reads the hardware and boots up the computer. 
Why would the BIOS do anything to the cpu?
