I'm considering either a P5K Deluxe, Blitz Formula, or IP35 Pro. I'd like to have some more info on the IP35 before making any purchase decision.

1. For those of you running 4x1 GB, what is your max FSB? Do you have to reduce the strap or timings?

2. I understand the 1066 strap on the P5KDel tops out at about 500 and the P35-DQ6 around 417. My Commando is at 400; anything over that and performance takes a dive. Where is it for the IP35--in other words--at what point (FSB) does performance drop off?

3. How frequent are the BIOS updates?

4. Are there any SATA/AHCI issues? I have four SATA drives and would like to run at least two of them in AHCI or perhaps RAID 0.

5. Any other known problems I should be aware of? (Not all problems turn me away from a purchase)

Thanks...
