    I just flashed my BIOS to its new version. As you can see, it went OK. Cause if it hadn't gone OK I wouldn't have been posting here. Hee hee. Now it's onto installing WinXP tomorrow.

    BTW, when my machine booted back into Windows it detected a new piece of hardware called an ACPI fan. I know ACPI is a power management scheme, but what's an ACPI fan?

    ACPI is a power "Interface" scheme. You probably can control your fan(s) if you wanted..
