QUESTION:

What do you think could be a big help in overclocking or general computer use?

Your answer can include more than one thing if it comes to mind. Thanks again!

Double BIOS. Meaning a backup BIOS that can flash the real BIOS chip in case you fatfinger a flash.

better temp probes and voltimeter in gpu cpu and ram with external display
double bios would be nice
on board ON/OFF switch
removable mobo tray in the case with a hole to easily change phase water and air
better power system for the cpu and ram
a nice separation between 16x pci e slots like the asus a8n sli deluxe
better placement of the chipset so it wont interfere with huge vid cars like 7800gtx so ppl can change the stock fan for a better cooling

for overclocking:
bios which makes the cpu multiplier what ever you want
accurate temps and voltages (amps too!)
automatic ramp spd optimazation
stable v.core and ram voltage
ability to "fine tune" by selecting frequency's individually (cpu total 2300 mhz ram 260mhz basically 2 diff clock gens for this to happen) also to further fine tune, selecting a frequency down to .02 of a mhz
good quality caps and other components, and lock all of the sata ports, not just 2

general:
good system reliability and easy maintnence and auto reset cmos if windows (or other operating system) bsod's (or just turns off )

two blondes rubbing my shoulders while I slave away over my clocks....that would make life easier...

Hmmm... I think the number one thing for me would be a simple inexpensive but accurate and easy to use thermal probe

thermal probe and voltimeter (good qualitiy and the thermal prob that reads below 0°)

and external lcd to see the readings ala abit guru thing but better
