We got 2 boards from newegg last week, and the bios *is* soldered on :( However, there's this photo: http://www.motherboards.org/imageview.html?i=/images/reviews/motherboards/1628_p6_6.jpg There must be more than one revision of this board floating around. It really sucks that they saved $0.30 or so on a socket - seems a bit extravagant since this board is not low-end (for a desktop board).
