any body test S3 in any bETA afet 1004? And especially for the hack Rampage ones? Does the Rampage offer everything the Maximus had, such as auxilery probe headers to be detected by C prove II? Does it do anything better for the "Real world" daily used stuff like setting in PC Probe set up and monitoring? Since our Maximus had no eSATA or Wi-Fi, does it still show up in the hacked BIOS or just greyed out? Does it do anything for OS and software performance?

I see so much mention of RF bETA being faster. Faster where? What apps will show it's gains, "excluding" synthetic benchmarks? Can we see results improvements in transcoding as in autoGK DVD Vob/Ifo to Xvid compression? is it significantly less like minutes, or just seconds? Same given file and profile? What about quicker loading or RAID disc array and program start ups and entering and resuming of S4?

Does S3/STR work in any of the Rampage BETA's or finals for the Maximus? And before somebody blabs out "Who uses...?" YES, I and many others, actually use ACPI features and especially S3/S4. Here in the states, energy is not free, nore is our time or PC components, so getting in and out of the PC is essential for real world daily use. I have no need nor any desire to leave my PC in full throttle 24/7 365 days (if it last that long) for a higher core. I ask these questions as for myself and others, some of us will actually end up sing our overclocked PC for work or personal business.
