    How do you know if you have the modded BIOS installed? I have two advanced tabs in the BIOS, does that mean it is the modded A08 BIOS?

    Well most people remember going out of their way to get the modded bios and flash it. The unlocked one has a ton of additional features.

    If you have two Advanced tabs, you have an unlocked BIOS, but like YodaGoneMad suggests, it doesn't happen by accident.
