Hope leting everyone know mobo type helps.

SUBMAN, there isnt much to argue, anyway here is what the circuit basicaly would looks like, grossly simplified ofcourse, I should have done this as the first thing, but nevermind that for now.

As for what to do for Cmos clear id recomend you just use the jumper method while leaving the batery in place, but it definately wont hurt to remove it, it is however a redundant step.

Edit:If i misspel circuit one more time im going to slap myself silly

What you're missing is everyones MB design is different. Is ASUS for example is saying that you need to remove the battery, theirs does not follow 'your design'. That is what you're not getting.

Well, i have had Asus motherboards, I have done cmos clear on them, an yes, acording to the manual that is the procedure one should take, BUT, if you do not remove the battery CMOS clear takes place like it should with no damage to the battery. All motherboards do have that power circuitry that way, because it is the simplest, most cost effective way of doing it while providing the reliability nessesary. So far I have experience with several modelsof Abit, ASRock, Asus, DFI, Epox, Gigabyte, Intel and MSI motherboards and all of them have had that same basic circuit for that purpouse.
