    would someone who has already updated their bios on their R3 to the new A04 try downgrading to 03? I'd like to make sure this is possible just in case the new A04 bios prevents using a 485m card.

    You should be able to downgrade with no problem at all.

    i'm thinking it won't be a problem either, but better safe than sorry. again, if someone already has the a04 update, anyone willing to just see if the A03 can be re-applied? should take 5 minutes of your time.
