| 277173 | 2004-09-30 12:47:00 | I have an OEM graphics card from a Gateway computer bought in april 2001, is there any way to tell the manufacturer of the card etc. so i can reflash the bios on the card? its a geforce 2 mx400 32mb, its been serving me well over the years, but after a recent upgrade to radeon 9600 pro, i decided to put it in a 'spare parts' computer i was able to make up, it runs fine but i have just noticed a couple of programs such as aida32 etc telling me the bios is old (i think its ancient) and that i should upgrade this. Any help would be much appreciated |

| 277174 | 2004-09-30 20:39:00 | Theres no need to upgrade the BIOS on a video card (unless your an overclocker and that only applies to certain cards), id be surprise'd if you could even find one for that card. Aida32 and similar program are often full of ****, i wouldnt beleive everything it tells you. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 277175 | 2004-09-30 22:13:00 | There is one basic rule with BIOS flashing: if you don't have a problem then leave it well alone, no matter what AIDA says. ;-) | Susan B (19) | ||
| 277176 | 2004-09-30 22:39:00 | Alot of video card BIOS's arent flashable, its not like a mobo BIOS that can be flashed to fix problems. My Ti4200 wasnt flashable so i doubt an older Geforce2 MX. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 277177 | 2004-09-30 23:12:00 | I flashed the bios of my g2 MX about 4 months after buying it,Its still rockin along,and is without doubt the best g2mx ever made. Looking back through rose coloured glasses of course. |
