    That's a good pictures link... the BIOS chip will be on the motherboard (main system board) of the computer.

    To add to the images here is a write up of what the BIOS is and what it does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS may need to click the BIOS the Basic Input/Output System for Computer option as BIOS has a few listings.
