Shinobi Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 The SATA Bios is embedded in the System Bios. The only way you can update it is by updating the motherboard bios, but the DFI motherboard bios' only contain upto the 5.0.35 SATA Bios. You can mod a bios yourself and add the latest SATA Bios to it if you know how. If you download and burn Tmods Bios Boot CD and burn and boot from it you will find Tmod has already updated them to the latest SATA Bios, so you can just flash to one of them using it... The SATA Bios' & Drivers currently on Silicon Images site are only actually for the Sil3114 PCI Cards not for motherboards with the Sil3114 embedded, but Tmod modded the latest SATA Bios & Drivers(1.0.0.8 for these boards) to work properly with motherboards that have the Sil3114 embedded.

FireFoxII Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Thanks for the reply Shinobi Can you suggest me if this is an update that must be made? Are there improvements from 5.0.35 to 5.0.52? Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loggan26 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Yes there are improvments from one bios to the other but whether your gonna notice that in day to day use is any ones guess. But if your here like the rest of us and want to squeeze every last bit of speed out of your system then its def the way to go. WHat bios are you currently using?it doesnt say in your sig.
