How to buy a Flash BIOS upgrade online?

There are a lot of possible dangers of updating a BIOS. By applying the wrong BIOS your computer can stop booting. But upgrading a BIOS can also bring various nice improvements to your system:

  • Large(r) hard drive support
  • Support for newer CPUs
  • Windows Vista and Windows XP ACPI Compliance (standby, hibernate, ...)
  • Better stability and/or speed

One of the most important things a user has todo as a first step is to identify the manufacturer and model of the motherboard. Once you have done this you can then download the correct BIOS upgrade.

To make this motherboard identification easier, eSupport has developed a plugin for Internet Explorer and Firefox: the BIOS Agent. This plugin will automatically identify your motherboard. It'll also let you know if you have any old Windows drivers installed.

We've tested the plugin and it does it job well. It doesn't install any adware or spyware.

Below you can see the information it found for my system:
