BIOS flashing for different mobos with same chipset

I have a cheap ECS L7VMM2 with horrible overclocking options. I would
like to flash a BIOS that gives me some real options. Is it true that
I could flash any BIOS for a board that has the same chipset (Both
North and South Bridge), similar features and more overclocking
options, with a decent chance of it working? I am getting a BIOS
savior, which gives you a backup BIOS similar to the Die-hard BIOS, so
if I mess up, restoring shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks.

doubt it... ur bios handles allot of i/o which i would susspect would
change frm mobo layout (physicall layout) so even a same north / south
bridge chipset would still cause problems... but thats jst my take on
it

*No*! The BIOS is programmed for each specific MB, *not* for any
specific chipset.

Let him do it. He needs to buy a new board any way.
