My computer has been upgraded from Windows ME to XP PRO and I’m having trouble selecting the correct bios upgrade. I found the bios list for my motherboard but the list shows bios versions from R1.20 down to R1.02. Is it correct to assume the very top R1.20 is the latest and correct upgrade to use? Here is the link to the Aopen web page.

Also, any suggestions about how to flash the bios is welcome
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for providing a wealth of information. You are correct in assuming that the R1.20 is the latest (according to the release dates). This thread in the Collected Wisdom forum gives a couple of links to guides to upgrading a BIOS.
