Interesting, sounds like something I would do but feel hesitant to suggest to others. I normally don't even wait the 10 minutes (1 minute usually works for me) but since that is the time normally given by others, that is the time I use in my suggestions.Just a tip to save time. To reset the bios by taking out the battery, instead of waiting ten minutes as some suggest, just put the battery in backwards momentarily. It does not damage anything and pulls all the stored voltage out of any capacitors. I used to do this all the time at Intel when changing the bios on test boards.
