Have you been fed up with the conservative and immutable POST screen? Let’s rule out the tradition
idea that POST screen are stiff and frigid, and let AOpen show you the newly developed VividBIOS
to experience the lively vivid colourful POST screen!
Unlike earlier graphic POST screen which could occupy the whole screen and mask text information during POST, AOpen VividBIOS
deals with graphics and texts separately, and makes them running simultaneously during POST. With this innovative design, VividBIOS
now brings you a beautiful and sleek 256 colours screen without missing any important information shown on POST screen.
In addition, the limited space of BIOS ROM is another big issue. When all of the traditional BIOS can only show space-consuming and
uncompressed Bitmap, AOpen has considerately tuned the BIOS to next generation, to recognize the smaller-sized GIF format and
even dynamic-showing GIF animation.
Vivid BIOS shares the same fundamental technology with Open JukeBox CD Player, you may use the same EzSkin utility to change
your Vivid BIOS screen or to download your favourite Open JukeBox skin. If you see this little logo
shown beside your model
name on the BIOS download page,
http://english.aopen.com.tw/tech/download/skin, it is assured that your motherboard
supports this innovative feature!
