Just for the record; if you buy an M57SLI now, it's a new revision with SPI rom chip. The second position is still unpopulated, but the paths are now also SPI, no longer PLCC.
I have one of these at home :/
I read about that, yes. What does it mean? Different sockets? No sockets at all? Impossible to flash?
Different sockets, yes. I've updated the M57SLI howto with a picture of an SPI version; I'll make a picture of a PLCC version too at work today.
As for flashing, flashrom does not find the rom chip, which is unsurprising:
# ./flashrom -vv Calibrating delay loop... ok No LinuxBIOS table found. Found chipset "NVIDIA MCP55": Enabling flash write... OK. No EEPROM/flash device found.
Thanks, Ward.
