VPR Matrix Bios Update

[GreyHairedGamer]

I have VPR Matrix 9150 with an Intel Motherboard and bios number BT84520A.31T.

I'm trying to find an update for it but haven't been able to. Does anyone know of a bios update?

Okay, this may seem a bit odd, but I have the same computer and am in desperate need of recovery discs. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

I think VPR can send you a replacement recovery set if you can provide them with the original purchase receipt.

Unfortunately, VPR matrix no longer exists in any way shape or form. that number gets me Best Buy.

No real surprises there.

Quote: "We have gotten some inside "info" that Best Buy is going to start selling their own line of computers named "vpr Matrix", with the "vpr" standing for "value", "performance", and "reliability." Here's some of the info straight from the source:


This is meant to compete and overtake Dell's position as the #1 seller of home PC's. The computer was built based on Best Buy employee surveys (primarily from PC sales associates and PC technicians) on what they would want if they "built their own system". Unfortunately, the computers will be based on the new Pentium 4 DDR platform and not the AMD's... Oh well.

All models will have 512 MB DDR, 6 USB (4 rear, 2 front), 2 firewire ports, DVD Rom, CDWR Rom, optical mouse, 2 powered speakers, v.92 modems and internet keyboard.

Base model --> 1600 with P4 1.6, WD 7200 80GB, 32 MB TNT Video& on board Audio.

Mid model --> 1800 with P4 1.8, WD 7200 100 GB, 64 MB GeForce 2 MX400, & on board Audio.

Top model --> 2000 with P4 2.0 (0.13 micron technology), WD 7200 120 GB, 64 MB GeForce 2 MX400, & Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! Audio.


These computers should hit the shelves by the end of the month.

We now all know what happened next. Anyway, BestBuy is your best hope right now, no pun intended.
