AMI BIOS on Matsonic MS8157E mobo hidden features?
Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2003 11:14 pm
Hi
I've got a Matsonic MS8157E mobo with an AMI BIOS.
Are there any hidden features/menus on this chip?
I'm only asking cause I can't change any options regarding my CPU, it's all plug'n'play on this mobo..
If there's some hidden stuff to find, how do I find it then?
While I'm at it..
Is there any software out there to test/preview a BIOS file before actually flashing it?
And last but not least.. If I find a BIOS file from another mobo manufacturer, let's say Soltek or ECS, using the same chipset as the one I've got now (VIA KM266 or is it KT266 I can't remember, it's either of them) can I use it on my current mobo?
