hello all!
i recently bought a dell motherboard with intel d865vp written on it.
it has the 865gv chipset and has all specifications of an original
intel 865gvhz motherboard.
the bios says, that it is an optiplex 170l. since i now just have the
mainboard and want to get rid of the dell logo and the not very
sophisticating settings in the bios my question: is it possible to
flash the bios with a bios that is not made by dell?
i know that there is always some risk to flash it, when its not by the
manufacturer, but what could happen if its obviously an intel board?
i looked on the intel page, but there is no board called d865vp...
does dell change the boards on a hardware level?
maybe someone already tried to update a dell mainboard with a intel
bios or some similar bios for the used specifications?
thanks in advance!
