    As the title says I want to upgrade my gx600 (or ms-163a) bios since it is way out of date to the point where it cannot boot with 4gb of memory. I run vista 32bit so I had trouble with this, can someone help? Thanks.

    Do you have GX600 or MS-163a?
    Two different models, two different bios....

    The original release of both models did not support 4gb, both have a bios to resolve but you must reflash with 2gb or less.

    The GX600 bios is here:

    The MS-163a bios is here:

    You must use the correct bios for the exact model.............
