| 188473 | 2003-11-01 22:44:00 | Nope - I tested my old card in another PC and it didn't work, so it's fried. So I guess I had a different problem :) Mike. |

No CPU, no BIOS post. The BIOS is just a program that requires a CPU to run it. As far as I am aware no BIOSs have an integrated CPU in them. |
