I may have understood or explained it poorly, I think the 'bug' is that the BIOS doesn't have support for a feature that Flash and Nvidia need to work together. One person mentioned 'stepping', but I haven't had time to really read up on it yet. In any case, I have a brand new Nvidia card slotted in a 6 year old motherboard, so I'm comfortable with the assumption that my motherboard might need updating :)<br>

</div>I'd almost be inclined to put a fiver on it being a Flash bug that<br>
gets exposed in a particular perfectly legitimate BIOS mode, so the<br>
"bug fix" is to disable the mode.<br>
<br>
But then, I've been burned by a few other "too big to care" vendors<br>
and had to come up with creative workarounds for their mistakes.<br>
