FAQ's
learn about your BIOS
Q: What is a BIOS anyway?
A: BIOS is an acronym for Basic Input Output System. It is a program that stores configuration details about your computer hardware and enables your computer to boot up. Every time your computer is switched on the BIOS loads configuration data into main memory, performs a routine diagnostic test on your hardware, then loads the operating system. The BIOS resides in a ROM chip, which is mounted on the motherboard, usually it's a 32pin chip in a socket so it is removable. There are many types of BIOS chips including some newer 8 pin chips that are soldered to the mohterboard.
Q: When should I update my BIOS?
A: The process of flashing the BIOS is only about 98% foolproof. Every time you update your BIOS there's a small chance that you'll end up with a corrupted BIOS and a system that is disabled until you can buy a new BIOS chip. BIOSMAN recommends buying a back up BIOS chip instead of flashing your BIOS. The BIOS we use will be the latest from the motherboard vendors website. Keep in mind a new BIOS revision rarely enhances performance.
Don't flash that BIOS!
If time is important to you, buy a pre- programmed BIOS chip with your BIOS update already loaded from BIOSMAN. This way you will always have a backup chip!

Q: How do I remove my BIOS chip?
A: Follow our instructions here for PLCC and DIP chips. BIOSMAN sells 2 kinds of BIOS extraction tools.

>MOST Asked Question<
How do I get support for large hard drives?
or
Do you have a BIOS update that will enable my motherboard to support larger hard drives?
Answers!
1. If your motherboard' manufacturer's website does not have a BIOS update to download that specifically mentions support for large hard drives, (48bit support), then we do not have it either. You can try WIM's BIOS page. He does have some enhanced BIOS's. (free)
2. Best option. Purchase a PCI card like the Promise Ultra TX133. This card has its own firmware (BIOS) that will over ride the motherboard BIOS limitations!! Usually they cost around $35.00. This card will also drastically speed up your system due to matching your new hard drive speed to ATA133 specs.
3. Download the Intel Application Accelerator (for XP or 2000). It can over ride the BIOS settings in some cases.
