SOLVED Fellow overclockers, I have a mission for you.

[pzykotik]

Most of you are in the computer business for far longer than me, and probably have some good deals when it comes to specific parts. I am in need of a BIOS chip, and I'd like to find a BIOS chip. CHEAPEST, MOST TRUSTWORTHY AND THAT ACCEPTS PAYPAL. I will look on my end, but if someone know (or find) or a very cheap and reliable source, it would be most conveniant... my rescue pc is killing me, p4 1.6ghz 256mb ram

Here are the needed informations:

ASUS M5A97 REV 1.02
DIP-8 CHIP (SPI)

If you need more informations, please do ask.

I found one on ebay for an older board and it worked!

The part numbers on the chip would be useful, probably winbond something or other.

On Ebay >> They say contact them for more information like board revision etc. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Bios-Ch...US_Motherboard_Components&hash=item27cb7740be

Also on Ebay >> You should likely contact them as well and make sure the bios chip is for M5A97 1.2 PCB board.

It is winbond, however I am unable to read the numbers on it. Would it be necessary?

Also, thanks for the links, I will try to contact them....(checking...)

Okay, so 15$ is the standard price for a bios chip? Okay then... I'll try to find the fastest shipper.

Thank you guys, I have bought one of those in the links you showed me.

I am waiting on this chip, slowly posting this on my Dell Dimension 4300s...
