Hi, I am frustrated. Sorry if I sound unintelligent, but I am SO confused. It took me awhile, however I thought I had successfully upgraded my AMI BIOs from PcChips website for the M599LMR MB. BUT even though on boot it says 12/2000s- (It used to say 9/2000s)- When I check system info thorugh WinXP (just installed), or run PC PitStop's system check, or run the BIOS AGENT from this website it STILL says that I have AMI Bios 7/15/97 (or with the BIOS AGENT it says 7/15/95) What is the deal? What am I missing? Oh please, be kind in your response!BIOS say 7-15-95 even after upgrade?!?!?

that 1997 date is the date of the bios CORE which hasn't changed. Only the very basic functions are within the core. It means they've written a good one considering it has lasted for more than three years.
It isn't important to you and frankly I don't understand why these utilities are showing this date instead of the actual release date. Very confusing.
