    As far as I know/remember, the BIOSes addressed a "bug" with the 9800GX2, not exactly a PCI-Express 2.0 BUS issue or bandwidth related issue.
    Doesn't even matter, since I'm running the latest BETA's on every board.

    I'm thinking of starting some tests with the Striker II Extreme though, because of the "thing" that I noticed during its review ( check my previous post ).

    Just found sometihn interesting. Intel makes a game contest to find the best threaded game. There are plenty of demos available maybe we can choose one of the and check them out on a intel and AMD platform.
