There are a lot of faulty BIOS's out there...and besides, the 1005PE didn't work right until a BIOS upgrade anyway. It would be nice of them to make it just work, but adding an OSI string didn't seem like a big burden. My 1005PE works great now. Did I mention 6-8 hours of battery life? If I could get 5 sec boot time, I'd enter 5 OSI strings if necessary.
