So to get in to the BIOS I have to plug in my old standard wired PS2 KB - good job I saved it when I got the wireless one!

cmpm, USB keyboard access is supported by all newer computers and many of the older ones have a BIOS setting called Legacy USB support which allows USB keyboards to work all the time, even during boot, but you need to use a PS2 keyboard once to enable it (Catch22 ).

Yeah it work with del thank you allEither f1 or del key should get you there.
I have ps2.What is the make and model of the computer? The users manual should have information on how to access BIOS Setup.

The reason i want to access bios its to set internal graphics from 64mb to 128mb(if i buy ram)Because my computer doesnt support pci express nor agp.
And does there exist a normal pci graphic card that is vista compatible?
also how can i update bios the safe way its from phoenix BIOS
Its from a emachines c2881 its motherboard is VC37GV i found it from a pdf that came with the computer i think it support flashing
this computer is from 2003 so im hopping there will be a new bios version

New computer? what's that?
Actually I have that option in my P3's.
Never used it though and forgot about it when I needed it.
I'm running two P3's, basically the same setups except for different programs on each.
My kids have the power, newer pc's for their games.
So I had these and others and put two together with two more ready.
One 550e and a 600 processor.
The two others are one dual socket P3 with two 450's
And another with a 500 in it.
Stable computers but no good for power gaming.
Running two monitors on the one 600. both 128mb cards, one pci and one agp.
A company upgraded and I got their bones.
So anyways after a while you learn how to keep a computer clean with these old dudes.
The two main ones I use idle at about 5-10% with around 40 processes running.
More info then you asked for or needed I know.
But I have these suckers humming as bgood as possible I believe.
The programs I recommend have helped me to stay lean and mean, or at least a bit tight.
Love your input when i see it btw.
