Those Dell 760's we didn't touch any BIOS settings did we?

Brian,

Andrew Boardman, I and  some others have just spent a lot of time  
trying to track down a Linux problem that goes away when I tell the  
BIOS, "Reset to Factory Settings".

Before I go to Dell with this, I need to make sure:

Did anybody do anything with BIOS settings between when those two  
Optiplex 760s shipped from Dell to when Andrew and I got them?

Did anybody install any additional software or anything?  Or did  
Andrew and I receive these systems AS DELL SHIPPED THEM?

-Bill
