Just as a matter of interest I wondered how many people actually knew the answer to this question. I think most of us know how big the total size of the BIOS is but would the image on your hard drive be different?

OK, I'll play along and vote if it keeps you happy!

Haven't got a clue  ???
Voted on a logical assumption.
Do we get a prize for a correct guess  ::)

I must say I like your new Gold/Silver avatars, very posh.

No the "gold bit" is Gigabyte 's way of getting me to do this for free ::) It was either that or pay someone. :-\

The occasional thank you is more valuable than all the gold in Bill Gates pocket.
I thank you both.
