there is a great bios feature called "memory recheck". with RIIE and RIIIE I always had the problem that it only detected 10 of 12 GB RAM first boot of the day and I had to reboot manually to detect all RAM. with activated "memory recheck" the RIIIBE will automatically boot twice.
cons are: - there is nothing newer than the initial bios and it has major issues like no temp readings for northbridge and southbridge. - no support for my asus oc station. - it has same problems with dip switches for pci-e slots like the RIIIE. if I want to run benchmarks with single gpu that dip switches are useless and I have to remove gpu 2 and 3 otherwise pci-e slot 1 will only use 8 lanes.
