I've got an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard. The feature is found in the BIOS,
under Tools > ASUS O.C. Profile > Save BIOS Profile

I can save 2 profiles "on" the motherboard (Save to Profile 1, Save to
Profile 2), but I've also got an option 'Save to File' which enables me
to save (or load) a profile to a flash drive.

P5VDC-MX

Doesn't seem to have this feature, but it has AFUDOS utility which
allows you to make a copy of the BIOS (settings) to a floppy drive.
How-to is found in the manual:
<http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket775/P5VDC-MX/E2545_P5VDC-MX.pdf>

P5KPL-CM

Same story (AFUDOS) or so it seems. But it does something about updating
the BIOS with a ROM-file on a USB flash disk.

Or you can simply install ASUS Update utility in Windows. This allows
you to

- Save the current BIOS file
- Download the latest BIOS file from the Internet
- Update the BIOS from an updated BIOS file
- Update the BIOS directly from the Internet
- View the BIOS version information.

The utility is found on the support DVD that came with the motherboard
(and I'm pretty sure you can download it from asus.com).

Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to spell it out for
this dummy and not just telling me to RTFM.(G)
I have manuals and support discs,all I have to do is look at them (G)

Much appreciated.
