My question is what is the most stable bios out of all of these that would maintain my 3.2 gigahertz overclock of my core 2 duo 6400 and also be stable with no bugs? Or hopefully allow me to push to a higher overclock if possible. I'm using OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB DDR800 PC6400 ram. It wont boot even if i go one megahertz past 400, so yeah. Can anyone please lend a helping hand?

EDIT: just tried the 2004 mod bios, booted up ran load setup defaults, did not clear cmos though, but still runs great. I went into bios set up my overclock options and it runs awesome, all i gotta do now is run it with games and see if it solved the problem, vista needs a lot of work.

What is memory remap feature and what is better for OCing disabled or enabled. what is dram throttling too? do i need it? and what about the CPU thermal control what would that do if i disabled it. sorry for all the questions guys its just i always wondered if i really needed these options or not and what they did.
I'm in the EXACT same situation as you. I've had 1503 running for a LONG time now (since it came out) with a nice stable E6600 @ 3.4/3.6GHz OC. I don't wanna mess that up, but I'm going to be installing Vista x64 this weekend and want to make my box is "ready."

Should I just stick wih 1503?
