    I can upload AcpiTables dump.
    Of screen photo?
    Both can be faked still, right? ;)
    Din't try activation. I have XP only.
    I can PM you link, if you not afraid of bricking...

    I also have an Optiplex GX620 here and am most interested in adding a SLIC 2.1 so I can install/activate Windows 7. Would really appreciate it if you can PM download link and instructions. Happy to be a guinea pig! If it bricks, it bricks. Such is life! Thanks.

    Just run and post report (after it reboots) - ACPItbl or SLIC dump toolkit
    Might be a bit safer to run from DOS

    Hmmm! I get "please enter the admin password to proceed with the flash". This is a clean installation with no passwords anywhere! Any ideas please?

    Probably, admin/user or password set in BIOS?

    Yep, I realise. As I said in my first post, if it bricks it bricks!

    You are right, admin password on the bios. Just found the jumper to remove, so flashing very shortly. Will update then.

    You still have a chance - I'm planning to add Intel SATA ROM to get RAID capabilities :)
