armygreen11 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 So I downloaded and burned Tmod's CD (very well done BTW) and there are all these different modded bioses to choose from for an Ultra Infinity. Is there a compiled list somewhere of all the NF2 bioses and what their features/changes/pros-cons/etc are? Which one would be best for my setup and why? I did some searching of these forums, but I didn't turn up anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must enable SATA in bios to see the performance effect. I inject it through SATA Bios. If you have problem booting into windows After Bios boot.... Restart ... go into bios and Disabled SATA... It will boot fine to windows If this problem occured please report it to me. Thank you I got more but they're unsorted, so is the above really, I need to resort all of it...
