Determine Bios Chip Size

I need to know if my bios chip is a 1mb chip or a 2mb chip. I already posted a message earlier about this. But I couldn't find it in Sisoft Sandra. It doesn't show my (EE)Prom size, and a few other things that are supposed to be there. Is there any way to determine this. Thanks in advance.

Read the motherboard's manual? NO idea why you'd need to know this anyways....

It's not in the motherboard's manual. And I need to know it because I have to update my bios.

Unless your motherboard, for some strange reason, was released in 1mbit and 2mbit versions, then you should not need this info. All you should need in the motherboard make and model, and then search the manufacturers website for an update.
But, if you absolutely must know, then this prog may help. I've never used it so I can't give feedback. http://www.tweakfiles.com/bios/bios.html
