Should BIOS chip capacity affect your purchase decisions?
From a future-proofing standpoint, it is well worth a consideration. If you are planning to upgrade your CPU down the line, or perhaps reuse the board with an older processor for another reserved build, a higher-capacity chip reduces the risk of losing backwards compatibility when new BIOS versions arrive. It is also important to note that smaller chips can also compel manufacturers to cut conveniences like on-board Wi-Fi drivers (as manufacturers like ASUS state) to free up space. Cost is also a noteworthy consideration, but for longevity-minded builders, it's worth prioritizing.
