Just got the board and it's been a few days that I read this thread, so could someone remind me:

1) Which dimm slot (ram killer) are we trying to avoid? 3rd from proc (blue)?
2) Which BIOS is the one voted most stable? Intel has 2674 listed as the latest, but I remember gtj recommending 23xx as the best.
3) Any issues installing XP? iirc I have to disable Firewire or something like that?
4) There was a known issue with SATA optical drives, no?

thanks all
