    If any of you M17 owners have changed to the OCZ bios using the burnable CD method please PM me with the "by the numbers" instructions.

    1) uninstall Command Center (won't work with the OCZ BIOS).
    2) burn OCZ BIOS to a CD.
    3) reboot computer, go into BIOS menu and select optical drive as boot device.
    4) let BIOS install/update.
    5) reboot and enjoy your newly-overclockable lappy :)
