I have used ATI flash and RBE to flash my 4870x2's. One thing to remember withh the x2's is there are 2 bios's for the x2's.

Well... It was sounding pretty easy until I got to this post LOL!

I have 2 4870 x2's that I will need to do... What do I expect when I go to flash them and what is the correct way? I hate working in DOS!!

Also.... In the instructions it says to go to the link and download the ASUS top bios which is a .bin file, and then it says to go to the link and download the RAR package which contains the asus.rom.

So are the asus.rom and the asus top bios.bin the same thing, or will I need them both?


EDIT: I did everything it says to do for preparing the USB flash drive, all files are on there and I hit F8 to boot from the USB drive. It then takes me to a black screen with a blinking cursor but thats all it does... I can't type anything and it just sits there and blinks? Anyone have any input on this?
