Access time issue. Advise please
01/28/09 at 19:25:52
I'm planning to replace the original damaged bios chip of my laptop (MX29LV008CBTC-70G) by an AMD one (AM29LV008BB-120EF). After reading the datasheets of both the main difference i noticed is related to the Acces Time wich is 70ns for the first and 120ns for the second. Does this difference may cause problems for the normal operation of the laptop.
Thanks.

no, it shouldn't. the contents of the chip are copied (decompressed actually) to ram first thing the machine starts up. after that the chip just sits there doing nothing at all.
If you email me include [WIMSBIOS] in the subject.
