    ecs kv2 bios issue

    I was changing my startup pic using the mypic tool bundled with the old ecs kv2 mobo when my pc restarted. It now beeps on startup and gives the dreaded rom bios checksum error. The problem is I threw the top-hat bios recovery chip away because i was young an inexperienced when it came to mainboards. My question is can i buy another top-hat module?

    Or am I left looking for another dual ide fairly old school socket 939 mainboard as I dont want to replace all my main components (am broke).
