Hi, thanks so much for everybody's help. Yeah, actually I found that page too, but I wasn't sure if it was the right one and wasn't sure if I should update the BIOS in case something goes wrong. Actually, I guess I wouldn't really need to update it except that I read that updating it could correct the error with the bus mastering option and my Matrox Mystique video card not being able to play Mp3's and real audio without distortion. So I think after backing up some stuff I'll try finally updating the bios!
