Hi Martin,

The board was RMA'd about 2 weeks ago.  ASUS reflashed the BIOS and
sent it back.  It still has problems, so it'll be cross shipped to ASUS
this week and I'll have a different board.

As the board is now outside my computer (waiting to be shipped), I
can't verify the BIOS revision.  I'll check that info when the new
board arrives.

Regards,

David
