sounds to me like you will have to wiat for more bios updates ?


have you tried the service pack 3 install yet ?

I have strongly considered SP3 like you mentioned but I am a little nervous based on reading SP3 problems / bugs on the net. You say you have it on a few machines? Any problems? I read at length the endless rebooting issue with SP3.
