Just bought an LCD monitor only to realise that my computer doesn't support 1440x900 resolution.

Last updated back in 2005..

Thanks.

(I couldn't find anything through searching and looking at the downloads page.)

downloaded the bios, patching in progress.

Cool, thanks.
Now that's service.

Just one question, ECS's download page has the WinFlash utility.
Will I need to still use DOS like in this page: http://www.wimsbios.com/faq/howdoyouflashyourbios.jsp?

http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/flashutl/winflash.htm
Which update options will I have to check? Or is it better to use the DOS version? (AWARD Flash Utility: http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/flashutl/awardflash.htm)

Oops, that's three questions. Sorry for the trouble.

The best and safest option is still to use the DOS flashing utility, you can get a bootdisk at http://www.bootdisk.com (the no-driver, drdos one you want).

The reason for this is that I still - even after several years of existence - do not trust the winflash thingy for the full 100%, if something is amiss in your windows install (there often is without being visible in everyday use) it might crash and that's something you don't want to happen. I still see too many mishaps with it reported.

Thanks, but the link for the flasher on the utilities page is broken.

But I'm assuming this is what I need:
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downlo ... =2&LanID=0
It has AWD865.EXE inside.

the patched bios is available on our download page!

Thanks, that was very quick.

EDIT:
I've just flashed the BIOS and its perfect!
