Ok,
So I have the Biostar coming this week along with a AMD 64 x2 3600 Brisbane core and I have a few questions about the setup:

1. It sounds as though the 6.12 or 8.03 bios is the best for Brisbane cores, anyone have a prefrence or is there an advantage in using one or the other? Also, I only see the 6.11 and 8.03 on their site, any reason for this?

2. Overclocking - I haven't overclocked in awhile, but it used to be you adjusted the FSB and the multiplier to get the highest speed, although higher FSB was more favorable do to the effect it had on the whole system. With the new AMD chips it looks like there is a few other adjustments, like HT, that need to be adjusted. Besides memory timings, what do I need to adjust in the bios to move the speed up? I am shooting for 3Ghz.

3. When I read the Anandtech review, it stated they used the stock HSF to overclock the 3800 and 2350, however after reading everything here it looks like that was incorrect. Any ideas on this? Just curious.

4. Finally, anyone here use this board with either an AMD 64x2 3600 or the 3800? If so, how high have you gotten?

5. Anyone set up raid on the board? Were you able to load the OS on the raid setup? The manual really doesn't go into it and I want to be prepared if there are any special things I need to do.

Thank you in advance for any help on these questions.
