Hello,

I want to upgrade the bios for my PCPartner VIA P4M266 motherboard. My current bios ID is: 01/14/2002-P4M266-8233-6A6LWPRWC-00. The bios is 'BIOS-I-2M'(2K020114B).

Please help me on where I can download the bios. I've been searching for days already.

Thank you.

Thank you for replying. I've been to the link that you have given but at that time I wasn't sure about the bios yet. I only have one more thing that I'm not sure of. In the manual of my motherboard, it says the chipset is VT8751(P4M266) but the place to download the P4M266MS4-254M bios(the link that was given by you) says VT8233. Will it be ok if I use the bios that you've mentioned for the VT8751? or both of them is on the same motherboard?

This link also says the same thing for the bios that has this ID string: P4M266-8233-6A6LWPRWC-00

I just want to make sure it is the right one for my motherboard with the VT8751(P4M266) chipset.

VT8751 is the Northbridge part of the chipset. VT8233 is the Southbridge part of the chipset.
