I need someone's unbiased opinion.
My computer is running slower and acting up sometimes. I have done all the
cleaning and tweaking I can.
My drive is just about full which can be a little problem. I wanted to check
my BIOS homepage to see if there is an update. The homepage sent me to
somewhere called support and they emailed me & phoned me [how they got
number is beyond me]. They said they had an update that I needed or my
machine would not run properly, this is part of their email: "ESupport.com
is the Exclusive Authorized Upgrade and Support Center for Award BIOS. For
the past 16 years, we have constantly upgraded thousands of motherboards and
developed new BIOS upgrades for all the latest technology. Based on the
technical specifications you had submitted, we have an excellent BIOS
Upgrade for your system. We have the brand new Award BIOS for your
motherboard. The price is only $29.95."
This is the info that I gave them:
BIOS ID String:----- 06/08/2004-KM266PRO-8235-6A6LYB09C
OEM Signon:-------- VIG0608 BF 400
Chipset:-------------- VIA 82C3205 REV 0
Super I/O:------------ ITE 8705/SIS 950 REV 2 FOUND AT PORT 2EH
I just wonder how badly I do need it and why do I pay I thought upgrades
were free, maybe I was too naive there ..the free part that is
Thanks for any input
