Yes, that is what I meant. Sorry I thought that you would know that one. Ok, the
Intel is what I have.
I have the 440GX which is the server board. You might want to check on Intels site
and see if they
have an update to it. Before you update it, be sure that you BACK UP your current
bios. Also read the
attached file of what the changes are to this BIOS. It might not give you the
options you need,
so it would not be worth the upgrade. It might fix your problem. Also what kind of
SCSI card are
you using?? There might an option with in that for what you want to do.
