1. Is the 4pin molex connector between the PCI slots nessesary even though I only have one graphics card?
is not normally needed unless you have every slot occupied by a card.

2. What memory would go good together with this board? I was thinking of 2x1024MB PC6400 sticks, cause PC8500 is still a bit expensive imo.
crucial is very good...i would buy that kind.

3. How do you flash bios on this board, is there any easy option like Ezflash2 on Asus boards?
you can flash within windows desktop but i do not recommend it...to many people have had bad flashes from windows....the other way is to do it with a floppy or USB (thumb) drive thru a DOS prompt...Abit provides the "BAT" files, flashing program and "BIN" file in all-in-one download for the official bios releases....DO NOT FLASH IF YOU ARE OVERCLOCKING

4. I read something about some PWM thing getting very warm, what is this anyway? :x
that all depends on what kind of processor you are going to use and how high of vcore you will use.

you can minimize the temps by doing my easy to do heatpipe mod: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...147163&page=76
