On visiting the mercury site support

there is a listed updated bios 040831S.ROM
It says for PCB v 7.3 .
I do not know what my Pcb version is can you help me.


Is there any other update for my BIOS as I see even this is almost 2 years old.

Open case and check the top surface of your board for a version number, it's printed on there somewhere.

one year into this and i still havent found an answer!
i checked on the board and there is only stickers saying
" KOB P4M266a NDMx "
there is no mention of anything else. please tewll me what i should do.

I have been browsing their site in the mean time and there is no other revision of this board than the 7.3 so you should be able to use that bios. That bios is the last one released. Manufacturers eventually stop releasing new bioses because no more bugs need to be fixed.

Probably a Pcchips M925 ALU clone

Revisions older than 7.x had two SDR and two DDR memory slots, all later revisions had only two DDR memory slots.

this is clearly a different motherboard NDSMx mine is a NDMx.
I dont have an onboard modem so this one is definitely different.


Everest says my **DMI BIOS version is 7.00**
is this same as pcb version, i have no idea.
should i flash my bios with the v7.3 one then?

I think I see a typo or copy/paste mishap there, the second link is your board in that posting. However, yes, use the 7.3 version.
