becareful,
some suggest that ECS has mistake the 2 BIOS (lan and no lan one).
So the link before is good for no lan until ECS fix the problem....

Use the number D17111.rom for with lan to be sure.
linked as no lan, but indeed is D17111 with lan

Don't know when they will correct it back.

I will wait to see how others fare with this BIOS. Wonder if it still recognizes RAM as NVRAM, during POST.

Doesn't work well for me. My system is so far stable w/ the previous BIOS, but with the new one, it can't get past the first string on Prime 95, (says round error 0.499... expected <0.4., and i get IE errors and stuff).
