Bios for Linux 64

[nvisible75]

Hi:

Would like to find a BIOS for Linux 64.
Legacy AMD mainboard. MachSpeed "MSNV939"
Athlon 64 X2 4200+
2Gig Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512
Seagate ST3320620A 3.AAE 320 Gig PATA drive
Geforce 7950 GX2-512 DDR3


Current BIOS dysfunctional; Phoenix-Award Workstation BIOS 6.00PG
Current BIOS: 03/13/2007,"NF-CK804-6A61FBO9C-00"

System does not see RAM in slots 1&2 (only slots 3&4), intermittent POSTs.
Have had Redhat up and running to internet but, after 10th session suffered bitrot after reconfiguring CMOS.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Because it's a question about Linux?

Because the instability only occurs in LINUX, thanks.

Because not all BIOSes play nicely with Linux (Foxconn comes to mind). You're more than welcome.
