Stephen, you do not need a special tool to remove BIOS chip. Get a small pointed screwdriver or something and with pliers put a small hook on end. Gently insert tool in opposite corners of Chip, tugging ever so lightly, working all four corners. Note the chip has a corner cut off to tell you how to re-insert it. Get number off chip to order. I dealt with DONNA thru' e-mails for my chip. Came in about 3 days. These Abit board are TOUGH and will last a while longer. Thinking you can use up to 1MHz chip with updated BIOS on this board. There are two versions, Early 1.0x, and latest BH6 ver. 1.1. The BIOS chip is not interchangeable tho'. Good luck. /jw Not to say this will cure problems, at least it will narrow it down and the experience with changing chip should be worth $20. <G>.
