Most motherboards only support a specific subset of CPU's. If you change your CPU you MAY need to replace the motherboard... but if you do that it will include the appropriate BIOS. You may also need to re-install the Operating System.
You will need to reflash the bios
Identifying the BIOS is very easy, a simple level of computing is needed. However, changing BIOS settings will need a lot more knowledge about computers. If not sure what you are doing in the BIOS, leave it alone.
Let the Bios see the drive as a smaller drive Upgrade the bios Replace the motherboard Use software that interfaces between the older bios and the newer drive Use an ATA Controller card to provide the ATA connector and firmware substitute for the motherboard bios
No, you have to "flash a bios" with the up to date version of the software from the vendors site. This would not be an upgrade per say.
You might have to replace the BIOS battery.
It's not really clear how much a BIOS costs since they're not marketed to end users but are sold to motherboard manufacturers. A BIOS is essentially a part of a motherboard. A BIOS is likely to be removable on a modern motherboard and technically it could be possible to replace a BIOS if it went bad or if for some reason it was to be upgraded, but for BIOS upgrades usually it is sufficient to flash (reprogram) the existing BIOS.

If password checking is enabled, and you need to disable it, use the following steps: # Turn off the PC and unplug the power cord. # Remove the JPWD1 jumper cap. # To enter BIOS setup, start the PC and press the F1 key as the PC boots. # Clear or reset the BIOS password. # Save the BIOS settings and turn off the PC. # Replace the JPWD1 jumper cap www.fomek.com
