Since the SST chip is a package with either 48 pins or 48 BGA contacts, it
is not physically compatible with the Winbond chip. Since the chip contains
at most 1 MByte flash memory, it contains only a PART of the BIOS; just the
part that can be flashed updated. Try

You can purchase a replacement chip programmed with your choice of BIOS
version, a blank replacement chip, or have your current BIOS chip
reprogrammed if you have committed a bad flash.

Is the chip in a 32 pin PLCC package ? The web page says:

"48-lead TSOP packages and 48-ball TFBGA packages"

Does it have an LPC interface ? It looks to have only
a parallel interface. So the chip isn't even close.

Oh does the number mean the number of pins... good to know that

I would have felt like an absolute donkey if I ordered that chip and
then when it came at my home and I unpacked it and I tried to fit it
into my motherboard it wouldn't fit because it was way to big and had
to many pins LOL.

Big few there

Good thing I went for an absolute match. I think I got the match in
the follow up post based on the picture analyses and such
