Wanted: MSI X800 XT Bios

bjornm · Dec 21, 2004, 12:59 PM

Hi would likt to mod my MSI X800 VIVO to XT.

The problem is that I cannot find the correct bios. Have tried with the ATI XT PE bios but it prompts me for the -f parameter which I'd rather not use (since I do not have any PCI card to fall back on if things go wrong).

If any of you guys has or knows where I can find a MSI BIOS please let me know.

Cheers.
Bjorn

Is it an X800 PRO vivo?
And I wouldnt worry about forcing such a similar bios myself.

Also even using the MSI bios for the card will ask for a -f sign to actually flash... you are going to have to force it.

zurih: Can't find anything about an MSI bios on that link... only Gigabyte and ATI

If I can't find the MSI one, is the ATI version the one to choose?

Cheers

Well I googled a little bit and have not found MSI.
there is a "Retail ATI X800 XT BIOS", but i dont know if it 100% safe.. I guess it should be but I dont know for sure.

Also, MSI has a Live Update Tool in there website, but there is no direct download link of the XT bios...
