I have a pegatron m2n68-la motherboard that i cannibalized out of a old compaq I found. I have a variety of am2 cpus that will go in it. right now it has a Opteron 1218he. might put a phenom or phenom II in it based on what the board will give me. I don't really need to, but i was curious if it is possible to flash the bios at all. (splash screen is hideous. stickman doing hand plant. the only way to disable the splash screen is a quick boot. I like to see options) I've tried the hp site, and they have basically shunned the compaq 5300f off. (like they should) I installed the useless hp assistant app with no help. Should I figure out what other hp computers have this motherboard to find a bios? I'm doing a junk build into an Antec case to make an audio workstation. thermaltake psu, 8gb ram, adata 120gb ssd 320gb WD blue. gona say screw it and throw a radeon hd 8490 gpu with DP. (may upgrade later based on supply/demand.) not really intended for games. Just work. also there's a Windows 10 home key for this bord. I use alot of externals with adobe audition 1.5 so having amazing storage inside the case just bogs you down over time. Any help is highly appreciated. This is my first post here. I did try searching first. Thank you..........
