Info about my BIOS:

BIOS Date: 06/21/96
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
BIOS ID: 06/21/96-i430VX-2A59Ht5BC-00
OEM Sign-On: Release 07/02/1996S
Chipset: Intel Triton 430VX rev 2
Superio: UMC 8663B rev 0 found at port 108h

This text was written in wimsbios.com :

" The Award BIOS id for Tyan is T5. There is one exception: if your BIOS Number starts with 2A59H and then t5 or T5, then your motherboard was not manufactured by Tyan. 2A59H indicates an illegal chipset id which might mean that the manufacturer (not Tyan!!) did not pay Award for the BIOS core. "

How to upgrade this bios??
Who is the correct manufacturer??

Thanks,
