Cool, thanks.
Now that's service.
Just one question, ECS's download page has the WinFlash utility.
Will I need to still use DOS like in this page: http://www.wimsbios.com/faq/howdoyouflashyourbios.jsp?
http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/flashutl/winflash.htm
Which update options will I have to check? Or is it better to use the DOS version? (AWARD Flash Utility: http://www.ecs.com.tw/extra/flashutl/awardflash.htm)
Oops, that's three questions. Sorry for the trouble.

The best and safest option is still to use the DOS flashing utility, you can get a bootdisk at http://www.bootdisk.com (the no-driver, drdos one you want).
The reason for this is that I still - even after several years of existence - do not trust the winflash thingy for the full 100%, if something is amiss in your windows install (there often is without being visible in everyday use) it might crash and that's something you don't want to happen. I still see too many mishaps with it reported.

Thanks, but the link for the flasher on the utilities page is broken.
But I'm assuming this is what I need:
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downlo ... =2&LanID=0
It has AWD865.EXE inside.
