Hello again, see this link:

This is why i want to upgrade my BIOS before trying to go to sp2. There's a lot on the web about this problem, just google "prescott sp2"...
Whatever the reasons for doing so, I *should* be able to upgrade my BIOS, so why can't I? I even tried flashing the
same BIOS I have running - and it failed when verifying the flash!
Thanks again for your time and thoughts.
