I'm not surprised that it's BIOS 0803. I would have been surprised if it was 0902.
Everyone is waiting for the answer from ASUS about the stability problems with 0902. Most users are scared to use this BIOS because of the problems that we're having with it.
BIOS 0902 isn't better than BIOS 0803. Most users take my advice and who doesn't need this BIOS for some reason stays with BIOS 0803.
I think that the problem is the CPU and NB Clock Skew. But I'm not realy sure because with BIOS 0803 I have the same problems to get my system stable if I'm trying to run it at 8 X 465MHz.
Why it was stable at 8 X 465MHz and my OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500@DDR1117MHz and not with the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI is something I don't understand.
With every speed that I tested the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI the memory was stable but it fails LinX.
Maybe the G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI puts more strain on the NB than my OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500 did and that fine tuning the skews would make these stability problems go away.
