trav1085 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I have a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop, which when I tried to install realized that I need to the set the UMA memory to 8MB, instead of 1MB. But that laptop shows a different BIOS setup than my dimension desktop. It has limited settings and no way to change any memory values. How do I upgrade my BIOS, does the latest FlashBIOS have the ability to change UMA memory? Or is there an alternative to doing so.

Rammjet Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 How do I upgrade my BIOS Go to the Dell website. Find the firmware downloads. If the BIOS version there is newer than yours, download it and run the installer.

trav1085 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 It is newer and I just updated. But I realized that It doesn't make much of a difference. It adds a password options section but that's all. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28746-bios-upgrade/#findComment-197090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
