"With the rapid rate of development of new PC hardware, motherboard manufactures seem to be releasing BIOS upgrades every few weeks just to keep pace with compatibility/performance issues. The BIOS Savior is basically a second BIOS chip with a switch, allowing you to select itself or the original BIOS chip. It relies on the fact that that the BIOS chip is only used during the boot process, during part of which it copies or "shadows" itself into system ram. The chip is then ignored and all BIOS activity is performed from ram. Once booting is complete you can switch to the other BIOS chip for upgrading. How does it perform? In a word "Brilliantly".
