    It may be a bit off-topic but...

    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:

    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.

    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.
