I need to buy a bios chip for an old mobo. Where to buy it?

Can you download me a video card when you buy the Bios? thx.

Hey retard, the bios chip.

eBay is really your best option.

(If his board is old enough, it's quite possible that the chips aren't soldered to the board, or were removed outright. It's a pretty reasonable question.)

What's the brand? You can probably order replacement chips from them.

eBay although if it's really old, it might be easier to just buy the whole motherboard.

This is what happened:

Couple years ago I attempted to update the bios which went unsuccessfully. A few weeks late there was a HAM Radio show, and they sell a whole bunch of old computer junk, I found the same mobo with bios for like $25 bucks. So I grabbed the bios and updated it(this time it worked). So I've had a bios-less mobo for a few years, I have a enough spare parts to piece another system, except the bios =|.

Iwill btw is the company, I should give them a call, although they've discontinued support for it like a couple years ago.

I actually had to purchase a new BIOS chip for an IWill mobo last year. I think it was still supported though, as the board was only two years old. Additionally, even if they have some spare chips sitting around, it will probably cost too much to be worth ordering. I think I had to spend around $20 after shipping.
