One of these i.e. CPUID 0F43h, Revision 0x04 11/01/2004 does not appear to exist. In fact, the correct patch should be; CPUID 0F43h, Re...

Advent 3119 (ECS SF2 v2.2)

Rec'd this dead. Put new PSU in. With POST Card I get CPU reset. I do not know if this mobo has the correct BIOS as BIOS does not load. It may be a bad flash - dunno. I see retail BIOS available from ECS i.e. v1.0c. This being an OEM PC, the installed BIOS image filename is SF24302X.bin I obtained t...
