Is there any way to get into the BIOS without having any RAM installed? I am waiting for my ran via slowex and was hoping to get into the BIOS but I don't think it's possibal. After I read the post in CPU's about booting with no processor I just had to ask

RAM, CPU, nor the Power supply are needed to boot a computer. Just magic.

ummm why not simply use DDR from the PC you are on just to test it? Then put it back on your box.

The PC I am on right now only has SD ram, back from when DDR wasn't around.
