So just use a EEPROM flasher to flash it back to the stock and/or reflash it with the modified BIOS. I wouldn't necessarily just junk the board because of a bad flash. I don’t give a junk )) Stock bios was wasted by awdflash) I’ve found some bios and will try Plus CPUs with it tomorrow. Update: …

how about the compability on winxp? will I run into any issues with glide games on this os? somehow I cant take it that the agp is running faster than the pci card. thats the only reason why I want to use pci-x even if this is just a minimal Speed increase. hope you guys get me 😁
