Now, if only I'd found that out BEFORE buying another one off of Ebay. *Sigh* Tory > -----Original Message----- > From: Tory [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 12:29 PM > To: Libretto > Subject: RE: [LIB] 110ct motherboard > > Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2004 12:26:33 -0700 > From: "Tory" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [LIB] 110ct motherboard > > I meant reflash the bios, not change the bios settings.
