This is an efficient, easy-to-use tool to help you figure out the details that make your computer tick. BIOS Agent is a lightweight freeware application with a clean and well-designed interface that lets you get the information you need with only a few button clicks.
The program can retrieve information on the type of BIOS your computer runs and chipset type, as well as information on CPU, ROM, and RAM.

Version: BIOS Agent 3.61
"It works only on newer motherboards"
Pros: It is very descriptive and gives complete details about the BIOS very rapidly. It features options to disable Super I/O and DMI detection. There is no installation required.
Cons: It crashed every time I tried to run it on an older computer (a ADM Duron with a SiS730S chipset unknown brand motherboard). The fact that it seems to run well only on newer computer is the major downfall as I would only use it on older computer. Newer computers usually give detailed informations about their BIOS.

"SCAM!!!They Sold Me The Exact Same BIOS update I downloaded from HP for free"
Pros: NOTHING!!! SCAM, don't fall for it. I would have gave them a 0 if possible.
Cons: Like I said above, it's scam, they sold me a BIOS that I already had from HP. The sales person assured me this was different and would allow me to access the full amount of allowed RAM (4GB, on 64 bit OS). I fell for it and when I read details of the .exe file, it turned out to be the exact same one I downloaded and installed from HP for FREE, what a rip off. CNET should definetly reconsider their review of this SCAM

Version: BIOS Agent 3.61
"SCAM !!!!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME-> GO TO MFG'S WEBSITE, NOT HERE!"
Pros: Here's the SCAM email you will get :
xxxx, Please call me today regarding the Flash BIOS update request that you submitted on-line last Saturday. Your Flash BIOS Update Case # is: ####
After reviewing your BIOS info, additional info is needed about your PC. Once this info is received your Flash BIOS update can be provided to you.
On Thursdays you can reach me until 5:30EST.
Cons: Then the selling begins, 1) Driver Update Service-->NO 2) PC Wellness s/w --->NO 3) "NEW" OS that runs on a cd/flash drive (???)--->NO
If you want to see an actual "Boiler Room" in action, give it a whirl--->just don't buy from them, waste their time.

Version: BIOS Agent 3.61
"I would not use this product if my life depended on it.."
Pros: nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons: I sent my pc for an upgrade to esupport got my pc back with the new chip installed. But it did not work so I called and asked for my old chip (which they did not send me) I decided to do some investagating and found out that they were pretty much the same except for the actual chip name on the logon. called tech support and talked to from what he said was the tech support supervisor. What a JERK. I am in IT and will never; even if they gave me the company support or recommend this company to anyone.. please if you know whats good for you don't use this product or company.
