    Lol. I'm feeling kinda nervous now about the board I just ordered from ebay (new-sealed). I will not have another 775 chip to use for flashing.

    yeah, I don't know who to blame for the fact that I had to go out and spend an extra $65 to buy a useless celeron to flash it. Is it Intel for changing the coding between ES and retail so that bioes didn't work? Or that they should have supplied retail code to manufacturers earleir? or Aus for being well, Asus. Eiether way, IK never had this sort of stupid issue with AMD chips ES, retail or otherwise. Even unknown cpus would at least post.

    I've kinda been looking for the Cheapest Celeron D processor (used even) to use until my preorder ships anyway.
