haha, so more is better? i thought that meant that it was worse because there were more issues or they needed more tries to get things fixed

as of now, the P03R2 bios is absolutely bang on...for dual cores anyway, no idea bout quad users. they just have to fix the CL7 bug, leave P1/P2 adjustment in there, and perhaps clean up some of the POSTing issues. every now and then, a completely stable setup won't POST. it just hangs at 11 or some other random code. a quick reset, save & exit and she fires right up though.

that is one thing i have not heard mentioned...how easily the reference boards recover from failed clocks. no need to even turn the power off, just hit reset and your back to a safe boot. it is very handy.
