I just checked the asus support page for a bios update for my gf's computer. The beta 1302 was from 2006/06/19, the 1303 final is from 2007/07/13. This is for the A8n-sli premium board by the way. It's an old one, but still.
Asus initially releases a lots of different bios, enhancing and optimizing performance. But when the mainstream settles for a good bios, even the beta won't go final. At least that's what I'm thinking. They have too many boards released recently..I guess they focus their resources where the money is...
