From: donut on
during bootup my computer shows

A7B266-VM
ACPI BIOS Rev 1004/AA
A7N266VM
08/23/02


downloaded 1007.bin and tried to flash and got msg

1007.bin
date of built
current 08/23/02
1007.bin 04/29/02

check sum of 1007.bin is AA46

Warning!
the bios model doesn't match with the one currently used

tried107NVM.awd

date of bios built
current 08/23/02
107nvm.awd 08/12/03

the asus download site has 2 mobos

a7n266-vm bios file 1007.bin

a7n266-vm/aa bios file 107nvm.awd

during boot up the bios shows 104/AA
but the mobo manual shows a7n266-vm without the /AA

is it ok to use the 107nvm.awd file to flash the bios since the
1007.bin doesn't work
