Am upgrading my board to at least 500-700mhz (for Celeron 677mhz). Have the
proper flash utility, but need to know the .bin file to replace. How do I
find it? I would really appreciate a little help, and thanks in advance. :)

It should be available from the website of the board manufacturer

Depends on the board, but go to the manufacturers website and look around.
They should have the file available. If not, it will be lurking around on
the net somewhere.
 
well, I found a few, but I think this is the best one:

site. But I never did find what the file name is. I'll look some more, and
thanks for all the suggestions. :)

If it's a Gigabyte board, then the file will be on the site.

They are fairly good at keeping older bios files about. I have a Gigabyte,
and I believe the file will be zipped. You will need to uncompress it to
the bootable disk you've made, and the extension will be .awd (depending on
your bios) for an Award bios.
 
Gigabyte GA-6BXC. I could only find two on the gigabyte site.(it's the one I
described before that I downloaded, and it is good for increasing it from
PII to PIII 700mhz.) I eventually want one to increase it to 1.2gb but
haven't got the cash on hand to buy it right now. Driverguide.com has a few
but I'm not sure if any will work. I read a few remarks on them, and that
made me even more unsure...lol.

a BIOS file is something I wouldn't leave to chance on a site like
driverguide.com. Not that I don't use that site regularly, but you never
know what is actually posted without trying it first. A bios is not
something you want to chance.
