Bios Update problem
I have HP Vectra 420 with Asus P4-MX Motherboard,and Amibios, with number 63-1000-001292-00101111-040201-I845-1AATM107-. Is it possible to flash this mb with any other bios except with the bios provided from HP homepage,because all good bios options (RAM, FSB)are hidden,or to unhide them?Thanks in advance
I do not know if it is possible, but here is my 5cents.
I had a P4B-MX board from a 420vl comp. Was planning to flash it with the latest ASUS bios but I never got around to it as the mobo exhibited memory detect problems long before
and I scrapped it. The HP oem board uses an 512K flash chip loaded with AMI bios.
The ASUS original is 256K and Award bios.
I prepared the 512K file by appending two copies of the ASUS bios file, as found on this site that some boards can be "restored" in this way.

Then there is the question to bypass the flash protection and finding the correct flasher to put Award over AMI on the board, maybe its trivial.
