The product manual specifies the chipset as SIL3112A (not specified as S...

@cp: At the moment SiS's download section does not seem to be working correctly. I shall check the site later. I do not want to do any soldering or acquiring of a new EEPROM chip, as such would have a cost greater than the value of what is perceived to be the benefit of the card with new BIOS. A Win...

Thanks Denniss.

Finding an older graphics card a good price is now difficult. Shipping added cost would make the purchase undesirable.

For now, the SiS 6326 card may be good enough (although leaves much to be desired), if another card can be acquired cheaply, then it may be used.

I have been and am trying to find Video BIOS for a SiS 6326 AGP graphics card. The advertisement at boot from the SiS device is: SiS 6326 AGP True Color Graphics and Video Accelerator 8M Byte Video Memory, BIOS Version 1.23d Support VESA BIOS Extension Ver 2.0 Their seems to be many versions of Vide...

once Windows is loaded the latest microcode will be loaded, too. it's already build into the OS (and already the latest available if you've done OS updates lately) The latest microcode update driver available from Microsoft Corporation for Windows 2000 does not contain the latest microcode for the ...

The Dell A07 BIOS contains microcode revision 0x21. The latest microcode that Intel Corporation released for the Intel Penti...

I have found that some intel integrated graphics drivers do not install on a computer using an older version of the VideoBIOS for the integrated graphics chipset.

Try installing the drivers after a VideoBIOS update (if possible).

I have sucessfully flashed Foxconn 6100K8MA-RS BIOS on Foxconn C51GU01 using awdflash V8.60H (specifically "awdflash /py/sn/cc/cd/cp/Wb/QI"). /QI was necessary for the crossflash. Also, removing the CMOS battery seemed to be necessary to correctly clear the CMOS. Some issues that existed when using ...

I am trying to understand the information being conveyed at http://www.i0759.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=18665 , but am unable to understand Chinese. What is conveyed in the Chinese thread? I do not fully understand the Google translation of the page (use link without referrer for Google translation). I was...

Where may PLCC chips be acquired at a reasonable or cheaper than reasonsable price for the United States of America region?

Vendors such as BadFlash.Com and BIOSMAN seem to chare quite a high price (at least $25 USD) for programmable chips.

Hello I want to use an external TFT-Display (22" Widescreen) with my Siemens Fujitsu Notebook. The problem is, that the M650 Graphic chip does not support WXGA Resolutions. On the SIS Homepage stands, that I have to Update my VBios. My question, where can I get this Update, ...On the SIS Page is no...

The Wim's BIOS FAQ #9 (http://www.wimsbios.com/faq.jsp#q9) states: Solution 2: Get a new BIOS chip Contact your motherboard manufacturer to see if they sell BIOS chips. Some motherboard manufacturers send them for free. Contact a company that sells pre-flashed chips, like Unicore Software, FlashBIOS...

I have been able to extract the current BIOS *.bin file from ftp://ftp.gateway.com/pub/hardware_support/bios/pentium/c51gu01/C51GU01P04BIOS.exe for my backup. In the past I would use the /QI switch ("Qualify flash part number with source file") to crossflash BIOS. Foxconn seem to use for its regular...

If cabling is not the problem and a defect does not exist, the problem may possibly be resolved by cleariring the CMOS (has worked for me on Intel brand boards before).
