- There is no "true" newest BIOS....it depends on your motherboard. Don't
- try changing it, you will most likely end up screwing things up. Also,
- a lot of those special features you might see in your particular CMOS
- setup may not technically be something inside the CMOS. My motherboard
- has an option called "decoupled refresh"; it means the chipset refreshes the
- video instead of the CPU. I called AMI about it and their reply was that
- they had nothing to do with it, the MB company told them what the cmos
- switch was to say and where to modify....
