Change Bios Logo

I want to change the Gigabyte Picture that comes up when I boot my PC. How do I change it and can I replace it with any type of file such as a swf or a jpeg file?

I have Face Wizard but thats useless.

Any suggestions?

My System

Take a look in your mobo book - it's quite possible on my Asus mobo. I seem to recall there was a little applet on the mobo CD to do this (Asus BIOS update utility)

That is correct and, absent a utility, one has to hack the original binary file and change the image, then reflash - not for the timid or casual user.
