Also, is it relatively safe to flash bios from Windows nowadays ? I don't have a floppy drive is all.

I forgot to mention that I had to RMA the first board I got since it just wouldn't POST no matter what. Took it in to get it looked at and they couldn't get it working either. Would go through endless reboot cycle.

Maybe I was a little harsh, I'm not that let down but I do need a stable system that pref overclocks to 450. I didn't think that was too much to ask. I havn't done alot of tweaking so maybe theres hope still.
