What it all boiled down to was this. The motherboard was made by Everex and used AMI BIOS chips that had been made specifically for that board. This made it impossible to use a "generic" AMI BIOS upgrade and instead I had to order an upgrade set directly from Everex. Interestingly enough, the cost of the upgrade and UPS Blue shipping was only $44.00(US). This is much lower than the 69 to 80 dollar quotes I was getting from other companies. The Everex people were very nice to deal with; completely professional and VERY courteous. Lance -- Lance A.
