why different BIOS for Windows and Linux?
I got a mainboard out of an Acer X3995, I wished to recycle.
First had to figure out the pins for the front panel switch and LEDs. Going to Acer website, they have 4 BIOS to download: 2 for Win8, 1 for Win7 and 1 for linux. Why so? I don't think other manufacturers specify a restrictive BIOS. |
