    If you can make the text burning, that`s be awesome. If not, the one from post #153 is perfect also.
    I`ll give Z the green light whenever you`re done, Audigy.

    No, he has a desktop, but he`s playing WOW right now and I`m estimating he`ll be at it for at least 5 more hours.
    But thanks.

    Have you tried BnW 2? :D
    I`ve played BnW 1 just to persecute the animal and the people,but it was much fun.
    I have the BnW2 dvd somewhere,never really had time to play it, but it looked nice from the trailer.

    zfactor, is there any risk to damaging the bios by doing this refresh or flash? Is it flashing the entire bios over the same bios except with the image changed?

    Thanks!

    no risk. follow my guide and flash with a sub stick and all you are basically doing is replacing the entire bios with the same one but with a modified boot image. i can also make many other changes but they depend on a lot of factors. for instance i can see the overclock options in my bios but i can not access them right now. im going to work on this more soon, they are greyed out currently in my bios (with a t9300) but i can "see" them...

    once a new bios comes out i can replace the bios for you with the new one with a modded boot screen again.. imo no risk just please do it from a dos prompt as imo flashing from xp or vista is NOT RECC..
