    Updating BIOS

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Hey thanks guys for your reply's!

    I was thinking.. Windows 7 is coming next year and I think it will be better than Vista (I don't really like Vista, so I will skip that one :P).

    Windows 7 will have 32 and 64-bit versions prolly (?). But will that 32-bit version support 4gb RAM, or is it the same rule for all 32-bit OS?

    Oh ok, I thought I read that it could.

    But what are the pros and cons of 64-bit XP? And can I switch to 64-bit without reinstalling everything or such trouble?

    Hey, I entered my BIOS to check if I could hoist 4gb RAM or something, because my Windows sees only 3 of 4gb RAM.

    I will read more about that later, because my problem first is that my BIOS just have a few options, can't find anything about memory.

    (I remember a lot more options in the BIOS on my other PC)

    So, now I want to update my BIOS.

    I have a Compal IFL90 (BIOS says version 1.16) and I found a BIOS update on the Compal website.

    But I doubt if the file is very new, I don't know if I can use other installation files other than from the Compal website.

    If I can't, I don't know how to update. In the download from Compal there are a few files (including a .bat and .exe),

    but if I click either of them I get the message "The systemfile is not suitable for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications" (freely translated from Dutch).

    Can somebody help? :)
