Bolas:

Maybe I am suggesting sth. blatantly obvious here:

How about a local PC store and asking them to let you flash the BIOS in their workshop with a tray 920 chip?

I am aware tho that it is looking rather stupid in the USA with the scattered PC stores that usually don't have quite the variety of hardware to choose from...not to mention CompUSA etc. Been there, done that.

I really prefer my German PC stores here with the good old shelves stuffed with modder stuff and gamer hardware. ^.^ Mail order can be nice but I prefer oldfashioned shopping and an occasional fight with a chronical AMD fanboy.
