One point Rick missed - make sure that you get the BIOS from the same

source
as you got the motherboard:-
If you bought the motherboard as a separate item, get the bios from the
motherboard manufacturer
If you bought it as part of a system - get the BIOS from the System
manufacturer (or at least check on their website where to get it from).

What can appear to be identical motherboards can be very different once
OEM's get hold of them!


Coffee ain't enough today, thanks Mike.

on the other hand I can actually move my arm this week so its a fair

trade.
