Different motherboards must exhibit different behavior with a bad CMOS
battery. Another desktop of mine prints an error to the POST screen
about its bad battery. There is a comment here from another owner of
my MSI motherboard:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/127597/show_product_reviews
"This is a great board too, except i got an error each boot-turns out
the battery was dead, swapped it and it was ok"
It sounds like my motherboard should still boot with a bad battery.
