Hi George, Thanks for this and sorry for the late reply I did not notice your message among all the excitement. So, how does one go about updating the bios? I presume that there must have been problems with this board as this seems a large number of updates. If I can work out how to do it, I will see if I can bribe my 9 year old to lend me her eyes although it is the wrong side of chrismas and I do not have much to bargain with.
