If supported, > that should be a dooze. I hope it'll do any magic then. To clear the CMOS-- mainboards typically follow the convention of locating a 3 pin jumper near the battery. There should be a jumper on 2 of the pins, e.g. 1 & 2. Moving it to 2 & 3 will clear the CMOS memory. You should also be able to find details at Asus's website. They're pretty good about having docs available online. [snip] > > I know you aren't going to like to hear this, but perhaps a motherboard brand > > chance is in order?

But then, that might just be a personality issue. :D IMHO a good servef mobo is only going to be cheaper in the long run when you factor in the time you're spending screwing around w/ incompatibilities. It's probably going to cost you more cash up front. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
