Do I need to upgrade my BIOS?!


Question:

Do I need to upgrade my BIOS?

I have never updated or upgraded by BIOS before, but some say that I should. I searched up the company of my BIOS which is Award Software International, Inc. I couldn't find any updates or upgrades, and to be honest, I have no idea how to go about. I really don't want to screw up my computer and have to take it to get repaired.

I play a video game, and it was recommended that I enter some Advanced BIOS settings in my BIOS to change the AGP settings of my video card for better performance. After entering my BIOS no such settings existed. My motherboard is fairly new, and supports AGP 8X, so I can't see why I wouldn't have these options unless my BIOS is too old.

Can anyone help me out? I want to get to AGP settings overall, but if updating my BIOS is the only way to do so, then how would I go about it?

Answers:

YES

If you have never done an bios update...

You will need to.

Just take your time and research and read. Then just follow the instruction.

If you still don't feel comfortable with doing this. Then call your PC support or go on line and chat with there support techs.
