Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This application quickly tests and reports on your system's BIOS-supported components, although it cannot modify, change, or update your BIOS settings. BIOS Wizard's simple, clear-cut interface lets you easily test any of 16 options and displays a printable report of the components that are supported and not supported by BIOS. Users also can right-click to any tested components to view a brief summary of its function. This application also shows BIOS information such as manufacturer, ID, size, and chipset. However, if you want to upgrade your BIOS, the application leads you to the publisher's site, where options abound. Unfortunately, we experienced system crashes during our tests when we attempted to run BIOS Wizard for a second time. All level of users will find this freeware useful for speedy viewing of BIOS system information.Publisher's description
