And the BIOS revision should show on the screen as SOON as you boot your PC. Or go into setup and it should show. Either F2 or Delete normally. Not familiar with current Acers though. ------------------------- AMD ATHLON 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane (2.1GHZ) AM2 2GB PC2-6400 (2x1GB) Asrock AliveNF6G-VSTA mobo 2x160GB WD SATAII 7200RPM Drives RAID 0 MSI TURBOSTREAM 460W PSU w/ Active PFC MSI 8600GT OC 256MB, 128bit GDDR3 Video
