EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
It is not necessary to remove it to upgrade it, it is essentially 'flashed' though it is not, per say, flash memory.
here is a good link to info on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEPROM
this is where your bios info is stored, and when you run a bios update, this is the 'chip' (so to speak) which has the info written to it.

You can go to your computer manufacturer's website and check for your computer's motherboard to see if there is a BIOS upgrade available for download.

The FLASH RAM, a "non-volatile" (than means it holds its memory when the power is off), memory device where all the BIOS code is stored.

How is the SIMM an improvement on the SIPPs and DIPs that preceded it?
