bios upgrades

Seems you can't download a bios upgrade anymore unless you pay more
than an old board is worth or am I missing something?

Award, used to be able to get them if you had the bios string.

Manufacturers don't want to know about anything old.
3 - 4 years old.. is old.

How about post the brand & model of ur motherboard.

Here is couple of links that u could use, but remember, in Bios
updates/upgrades, there is NO SUBSTITUTE/CLOSE ENOUGH, it must be for 100%
for ur motherboard or it stuff up completely.

I wasn't aware that any motherboard manufacturer charged for BIOS
upgrades. I've always downloaded them for free.

Take a look here: http://www.biosupgrades.com/

Seems you can get a *late* bios upgrade for an old board, some time
back tried it for my old PC chips board (super socket 7) I discarded
their e-mail, and as I said before it cost probably more than the
board is worth.
