Same problem here, my M57SLI has been at the computer shop for over one 
week awaiting the modification.

They say the socket that I got is wrong, (PLCC32).

Will the SST 49LF040 be wrong too.

The BIOS chip is a tiny chip soldered on long legs, where the factory 
chip was.

Is the modification now wrong?
