            ok

            I have planned to upgrade the 1 gb ram included to 4 gb and a Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9300 instead of the celeron does this also work without flashing ?

              I believe it would.  I went to a Q9650 but had flashed before that.

                  Toasty!    ;D

                  I had to add an AC unit (which broke my heart) to the equipment room here in advance of summer. But it typically runs just north of 50c.
