Can/should i use it to revive the bx133?
Can it even boot (bx133) with this bios due the the somewahat relativity of the chipsets ???
is there a possibility to destroy the bios chip cause of differenies in sockets
i mean even if you place it with rthe right orientation cause of e.g. voltage diffrencies etc ?????
