Ok i have a problem :
https://www.bios-mods.com/forum/Thread-m...ram-unlock
i noticed that the mcp61sm-am apparently doesn't have that problem :
http://www.ascendtech.us/ecs-mcp61sm-am-...61sma.aspx
doesn't say it has that limitation, also loock under "Add-ons / Accessories" see the 2GB ram ?
the only difference i can physical diffrence from board to board is the number of sata ports (2 for the SM, 4 for the PM)
don't care to loose the two extra sata ports, only need one.
an other reference says that AM is an suffixe for gateway MBs so then could it be flashed with a MCM61PM-HM bios, if yes wich ? (nettle, nettle 2, or nettle 3)
________________
I know there are more in depth changes from PM-AM to PM-HM (once had an nettle2 but fried it, long story) but even if i loose some hardwear i don't care even if i must reinstal windows. all i need is ram, then extended cpu support
if possible and STILL HAVE USB, SATA, AND GRAPHIC CARD (not the integrated one, the one you install).
NOT WILLING TO RISK BAD FLASH!!!
