I think a capacitor or inductor is going on my Ultra-D, so while I RMA it, I need a replacement and I think the Expert is a perfect choice, then I can sell the Ultra-D new in box.

I was wondering if there is anything I should know about the Expert before buying it... I've heard a lot of stuff about it:

1) Something about dual channel?
2) The older BIOS isn't that great, but the new ones solved that problem
3) The whole CPU frying issue, isn't that just high vDimm/lowvCore related? on any DFI?
4) Anything else I should know? I will be using my 3200+Venice and Ballistix on it, perhaps upgrading to an opty later :P

I love the layout on it though, more room between the PCIe16x slots makes room for fun heatsinks on my 7800gt
