The Cobalt Raq 3 and Raq 4 have SOLDERED EEPROMS so unless you have the 
skills to remove an EEprom from the motherboard and resolder a new one, 
you are better of shipping your Raq to Gerald and having him recondition 
it. While you are at it, have him throw in new fans and upgrade the 
processor to 500 Mhz.

We run several of his Raq3-550 units, and they are rock solid!
