BIOS STAR -[ FLASHER™]
BIOSTAR MICROTECH INT'L CORP. announces to provide [FLASHER™] technology on most of motherboards to support user-friendly operation for BIOS update.

Regularly, when users want to update BIOS, there are two steps to be followed. First, move to DOS environment. Second, use and maybe download the flash utility to update the BIOS. Unfortunately, there is no DOS support under WindowsR XP. Moreover, it takes time to prepare the right flash utility and make a Bootable Floppy Disk if necessary. BIOSTAR's [FLASHER™] technology integrates flash utility function onto BIOS firmware. The advantage is users do not need neither to enter DOS nor to prepare the utility. Just simply enter CMOS and do it.

To see is to believe. Enjoy the speed, safety & convenience when necessary.
