    Yo.. that's tight... I have an ASUS board as well with MyLogo program, I wasn't even thinking of using it, but now I might . I looked up the BIOS spec on my board on ASUS site, and it says: 8 Mb Flash ROM,AMI BIOS, PnP, DMI2.0, WfM2.0, SM BIOS 2.3

    Sweet... I have to try to do something...

    A lot of BIOSes support bootup logos - check your motherboard CD for a copy of a logo editing program.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Oh I hope nobody ends up with a bad flash and kills their BIOS!

    Tip:

    Make the image up in photoshop (640x480) and once done change it to indexed colour, 256 colours, then save it as a bitmap (it'll choose 8bit) with no RLE compression. That gives the best quality, rather than letting a BIOS tool throw away most of the colour pallete.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    A warning to some - if you dont' have a 4Mbit chip, or your BIOS is full with lots of cra... lovely stuff, then your boot logo might not fit.

    I once resorted to removing the silicon image and promise raid bioses that were strapped onto the bios of my Gigabyte GA7VAXP, just so I could have the half-life loading screen show at bootup
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Thing is, my PC is rarely rebooted or turned off, plus when it does, the boot image (that I've now disabled) goes so quick I wouldn't see it!

    Nice

    I changed mine to my usual screen I have - i.e the logo of the beloved red devils and I have to agree with Allen as well, mines not turned off as much as it was used to so unless your a serial rebooter then its a good idea but not really practical.
