HI ST, :D congratulations, I imagine that you had passed some busy days ;). I am waiting for the processor & ram for the board and in a few days I try it too :). One question, how did you disabled the soldered bios?, ( I think that something related with the #init pin, but how? ) Well again cong

Hi I am pretty happy that i can report success! Ok, i still don't have any Linuxbios running... but yesterday i received the flashchips for the GA-M57SLI board. Already programmed with the F8 version of the original bios. The onboard bios was flashed to the F7 version. I have soldered a PLCC32
