Thank you!

Question: would that be in addition to or a substitute
for?  (I am concerned that my SATA DVD/CD burner would
stop working.)

Also, I downloaded the recent manual for my motherboard.
The section has a new option not on my BIOS (1.2a)
called "SATA ACHI Mode: on|off".  The current BIOS is
2.1a -- I think it is time I ordered a new BIOS chip
(I don't flash.  I remove and replace the chip.  That way
I can go back if things go wrong, which has happened to
me before.)

Many thanks,
