They're selling, at least here in Poland, the B590 without any operating system - one of the reasons to buy it. Its really quite a low price. The BIOS legacy mode I havent heard of yet (my equipment is quite vintage). Does it mean a non-legacy mode computer doesnt boot anything but MS-stuff? Or some funny partition table you cannot get rid of? -- herb
