One thing I try to tell people who are interested in doing flashing and/or doing BIOS modifications is to pick up a few older motherboards at a local flea market or 2nd hand store. Some place where you find some cheap used parts you don't mind losing. This is a great way to learn/practice doing advanced things like BIOS Moding without the worry of screwing up the new motherboard in your main system. I would much rather lose a $10 board than a $200 one. The salvation Army, Goodwill, or other second hand stores, as well as the local hospice. I once found a Pentium 120MHz with mainboard and 128MB of RAM still on it at a local hospice for $10 bucks. A deal and a half. At the time the top of the line systems were PII 400's.
