Re: what happens say if....
As long as its the same chip, probably nothing. it shouldn't go up in smoke unless you put it in backward or something....but if the POST config on the eprom doesn't match the motherboard, it simply just won't POST.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: what happens say if....
SPI BIOS chips are similar in size to SOIC-8. I'd rather solder a SOIC-8 than any other chip. Light years between leads so alignment is easy and solder bridges are rare. They are almost as easy as inserting and removing a DIP from a socket.Comment

that's why my flasher board has a ZIF like socket for them

Re: what happens say if....
If they are SPI they probably support in-circuit programming.
My MSI 790GX-G65 even provides an ICSP header but you may be able to get away with just tacking or clipping some wires to the appropriate pins...
