I'm looking through Zoiah's BIOS modification tools
as I type this - and will test some out using the
vgabios tool before I actually flash it. I expect
that the CL staff with claim NR (No Responsibility)
regarding this white-box, since it doesn't have
their BIOS installed - that's what I like to call
the "Corporate Backdoor Policy" where they can and
will use any possible means to wipe their dirty
hands clean of the problem.

I'll report back with findings...

(I plan on modifying the scipt to update the memory
speed to what it should be (150-ddr).
