Upgrading VBIOS on Microstar board with SiS 661FX chipset
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 12:41 am
Hello,
I am attempting to update the VBIOS so that my SIS 661FX integrated video card can display 1440x900 resolution.
These are my relevant stats:
Motherboard ID: SIS-661FX-6A7I9M49C-00
Motherboard Name: MSI 661FM
Manufacturer: MSI
BIOS Type: Phoenix Award 6.00 PG
Award BIOS Message: W6540SMS v3.7 092104
I have two questions:
1) Does the award bios message, W6540SMS, uniquely identify my chip? I found a version of the software with the upgraded VBIOS injected into the bios software, but I wasn't sure i twould work for my chip and wanted to be sure.
2) I was going to use UNIFLASH to install the bios upgrade once I obtained the correct version of bios software, but it doesn't look like it's able to detect my BIOS. Can anyone recommend another flash program to update my bios?
Thanks
