Phoenix, American Megatrends, other?

Which BIOS manufacturer do you prefer? I personally dislike my AMI BIOS in my P4P800-E Deluxe and how it's laid out and performs. (Yes there is such thing as BIOS performance). The Phoenix Award BIOSes feel much faster and more responsive than these AMI ones.

Post your thoughts..

Drakon will become famous soon enough

I think the BIOS for my 2 machines are from Phoenix Awards.

I also dislike AMI Bios that comes with my Mobo
It's a piece of Sh*t

I had many strange problems because of it...


Award Phoenix is the best Bios with every mobo that i have tried and with much less problems

I prefer Award Phoenix as well. They seem to be laid out better more feature rich. My agp/pci lock does not work on this AMI either grrr.

I also prefer Award Phoenix, the AMI bios i have on my Asus mobo can be really frustrating sometimes. Since i'm so used to the Award bios i keep pressing the wrong keys all the time...

AMI........ fo the same reason as no_style. asus P4C800-E Deluxe does have a nice and easy setup to the settings once you know where everything is.

I have had experiences with lots of different BIOSes, but Phoenix - Award is better than AMI for many things.

I've been using AMI for quite a long time, I've only had one PC with Phoenix.. and that BIOS just didn't do anything good for me. I prefer AMI.
