i am curious to what people actually think a mobo does with the battery removed sitting off for a whole day?
i played around with the 1002 bios more now that i have an emergency floppy for 0803, 0805, 0901. i got different results each time i flashed this unstable 1002 version. one thing in common with the few flashes i have done is the fact that at least on my e6600 the clock settings will not stick no matter how many times i reboot or clear cmos via the jumper or within the bios. one time the bios just freaked out and my clocks were changing on there own while i was watching from within the bios. back to 0805 for me and all is good. of course i am not doing some insane overclock that is going to lower my mobo life expectancy to a disposable life span.
