Best or preferred brand of BIOS
The BIOS is tailored for the motherboard, with support for a particular chipset and particular I/O devices at specific addresses, as well as supporting certain types of Flash EPROM BIOS chip. Unless the motherboard manufacturer has produced more than one BIOS you are tied to the one produced for your board - unless another manufacturer happens to have produced a board which has identical chipset, I/O devices, etc at the same addresses. That can happen but is rare. The generic differences between AMI and Award are not usually important enough to worry about, and if you run an OS like WinXP it tends to make the BIOS pretty much redundant except for loading the OS.ghw wrote:can I replace my current BIOS with the preferred one?
