Just go to Acer Drivers and Downloads.

You will need to know the model number of your Acer, not the model number of your motherboard.

That's the right place to look. It appears that there are no BIOS updates available for your system. :neutral:

PC Modding Malaysia published some pretty good AGP 4x vs AGP 8x performance comparisons.
