Who is the motherboard manufacturer? Phoenix doesn't sound right to me. Unless things have changed Phoenix makes bios, so does Award... can't be both. At any rate you'd want to get the bios update from the motherboard manufacturer not the bios manufacturer. The bios is specific to the motherboard and if you tried to say flash a generic award bios you'd likely end up with a boat anchor 8)
OP
im not sure what the motherboard is, its just a generic thing i picked up
not to make fun of aida32 or anything but thats the info i got from it
i guess its an award bios manufactured by phoenix???
but anyway isnt the motherboard id i listed supposed to mean something?

but i dont see anywhere where it clearly says if they do or not
