    Same thing happens with mine. It's probably just a difference in the firmwares of the two cards, nothing to be worried about, and I don't think there's anything you can do about it.

    Question can anyone upload the Master Bios for the 3870 MXM 2.1 type card I only have the slave card now and need to flash it to a master as the master is dead, I called up Dell but don't really want to pay $350 for a referb card that might last 6+ months please anyone.

    Thanks,
    Goku
