Okay, i see that but the Bios update wich is avalaible on MSI website is for MSI-6168 V1 and not for MS- 6168 v2. I bought my pc on an supermarket LOL, It's a brand Like Packard Bell.


thx

ps: perhaps the Award bios can pass on AMI bios.

Seems to be an OEM-only version of the 6168 .
All support has to come from Pack Bell .
If they have nothing newer get an UDMA Controller card .

If AMI vs Award is the only difference between the boards then you can use Award BIOS. But it's possible that there are some other differences - Bora and Bora Pro have the same pictures but different BIOSes.
