AMI BIOS

[-MikeHawk-]

I haven't used AMD for quite a few years. So I have no idea which boards use which BIOS anymore. I'd prefer a board that uses PHX award BIOS & not AMI BIOS. Anyone know which board makers still use this BIOS? MSI/Asus/Gigabyte ... any of them really. Looking for an AM3 board to grab an AMD quadcore for. No onboard video & just one PCI-E slot just to keep a few ideas out there. Don't mind 2 PCI-E slots. Just not anymore. Anyways, any help would be appreciated. I've scanned these forums for days now. Trying to figure it out.

both Vendors use teh same layout at times...

AMI makes a great BIOS but you want the one that looks like the Phoenix...the Blue back ground with Red hovers

Phoenix has a BIOS version just like the AMI that works the same way...I agree I dont like the plain AMI style...

Not soo much like or dislike it ... just more familiar w/the layout. Usually a few more options.

I have to agree with you...I prefer teh Phoenix style myself

just look at motherboard reviews......all that ive ever seen show what the BIOS looks like, and usually tell you what the BIOS maker is....
