Ryan-
it was the GUI. what kind of magic was need I do not know. The fellow that did it was a one of those crackpot programers that liked to recode their Bios so they could over clock the CPU's better. Last I heard he and 3 others where hired by a company that built a branch office in the City they lived in because they did not want to move. So, it is very possible he did do some heavy patching.
