Where can I download a (AWARD-) BIOS upgrade program?
The answer is very simple, FOX. Just type in www.award.com...
Since Award has been taken over by Phoenix, I can give you the direct link to BIOS upgrades:
http://www.phoenix.com/pcuser/BIOS/bios_upgrades.htm
I tried this site but it seems like you need to order the upgrade software or something... if someone could post me the direct link to the download would be very nice.. :)
You have to choose what you use depending on all sorts of factors, like exact motherboard make/model. Sometimes you need the number that it prints out when it starts up to find out the correct upgrade.
I know that information, the problem is that I'd need to order the program, but I want to download it ...
Perhaps http://www.ping.be/bios/index.html?h.../numbers.shtml
will do it...
I updated my Bios some time ago and I got 3 more points in 3D mark!!! :)
but when I updated the Bios of my graphicsboard I lost 10 :(
Fox,
Most of the time when you download a bios upgrade it comes with the correct software to install it. not all the time, but usually. i have the award bios installer at home. so if you want it and I can find it I will be more than glad to give it to you. i think also that the bios manufactures are getting away from you to be able to download it, so you have to buy it. that is just what i have noticed with some manufactures.
