I have 2 AM2 systems. The M2N-E & M2A-VM HDMI.
I guess my first question would be if the current BIOSs (1202 & 1601) will

The big question: Is it worth the $260 per machine to upgrade? My reason

I bought a computer at the right price the other day because it would boot
up just to the point where windows was starting to load and then it would
shut down as if you had just switched it off at the wall. Give it 30 seconds
or so and it would do the same thing over and over again ...

I have cool'n'quiet enabled in bios + installed driver + utility + power scheme, and I can see from the utility, that it works like it should, i.e. increases and decreases mhz and voltage dependant on cpu usage.

I have a a7n8x-deluxe with a 3200+ cpu, ATI 9800 Pro and would like to
