I think after using the MIIF for so long you get a good knack for tuning. The gigabyte just seems to do it a lot finer and more consistently. Even at 550 fsb once tuned I could get it to boot regularly without a hitch.

I still have one boggle about the bios versions though - I'm currently using FD which seems to be a nice, quick, problem free bios. Is this also known as F10D or is there a difference? I'm looking at F10j for the sake of having the latest one, but it's not specifically for rev1.6.... could I flash this revision or not?
