Thank you! I have one more question.
Currently i'm using Windows 7 64 bit, so i had to install the latest 
bios , the R2170M3.
I remember, from old emails, that i could have some problems with 
installing linux while using this bios version. Is it correct?
Thank you, and I'm sorry if I ask so many questions
