Hi!
I am sorry to bother y'all but I am really having a hard time finding a suitable bios upgrade for my award bios. I would be very grateful if you could tell me where I can get a suitable upgrade. I have a 256MB RAM 32Mx8 which is only working at half its original capacity. here are the details:
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
07/07/1999-693-596-8671-2A6LGC3AC-00
Mainboard: Chain Tech 6VTA2-E10AN (info. from the white sticker on the bios chip)
VIA 82C691 rev 68
Thank you!
Where do I find bios upgrade?
AFAIK VIA VT82C693 northbridge can address only up to 128Mbit SDRAM chips. So you need a 256-MB DIMM with 16 memory chips (8 on both side).
