Re: Yes, another frenchy
Hi mikro, I still have to CT2. But it's a Rev A, not the common Rev B. Rodolphe don't send me the installation guide for this revision, just telling me it's the same. Indeed, it wasn't. Somebody else send it to me, and CPU removal was not written into it. But, if you"re sure that CPU can be rem...
