To nevermore and deathbringer, thank you to you two for working out the way to update this locked m2610G board. I ordered an i3 3220 based on cpu-upgrade site compatibility list and little did I know this board was not plug and play and the unit now is still socketed with a lousy G630 and bottlenecking everything else.
Based on the tutorials here and on youtube I've ordered myself a CH341A with test clip (I can't solder if my life depended on it) and will attempt this mod with the provided working .bin files by nevermore once it arrives.
For those wanting to try this mod via hardware programmer I found that the video in Youtube titled *Remastered: How to use a BIOS flasher w/ Test clip to flash BIOS and EEPROM chips in Linux/Windows* (sorry my reply message window is messed up I can't even see the box and everything so I am using the quick reply part to type this, hence unable to hyperlink stuff) was very helpful for total beginners, and of course the flashing Bios guide here at Bios-Mods.
EDIT 13 MARCH:
Everything Works!...first time over had some display issues as i did not immediately install nvidia drivers, i let windows update install the display drivers and that caused windows to boot into a blank screene everytime. After that reinstalled windows again, and installed the nvidia drivers manually and everything has worked well since. It's been 48 hours now and I'm happy to report no issues whatsoever.
