[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 82229, member: 114"] The BIOS doesn't contain any knowledge of video cards, it contins simple stuff like I/O timings for AGP/PCI interfaces. Those are supposedly iron-cast specifications that should not change regardless of what machine hardware is being used (just as Firewire/USB/Serial/Parallel specs don't change). As I said in theory the cards should be interchangeable but in practice, with the raging war between Nvidia & ATI, the cards are optimised for the different OSs (Direct-X in particular).
