The one/two grep test worked flawlessly, but now if it's delayed, then I can't do that anymore. (but at least I have the bios option now! heh) I suggest you reference the Shuttle AN35 12-05-2003 BIOS, and maybe Bob's MSI, when you talk to Asus. If they can do it, then Asus should be able as well. Jesse
