"They" say that you shouldn't flash your BIOS if you don't have any problems, and I'll assume that that's the case with you as well. It seems that the most current BIOS for this mobo is 1.9, and if that worked well for you, and it seems to work well for me, then you wouldn't even suggest that I...

Thank you, Ryan. And an X2 and more memory would certainly be 1st on list. I know that would help a lot. I may opt for a huge (250Gb) SATAII HDD 1st, to get away from the 80 and the 40 I have now. Shoot, with a mobo like this, the future looks bright!

:roll: Well....Supernoob comp builder here, 1st post. Haven't started build yet. This is a long one, but rather complete, so please forgive. Please tell me that the MSI Neo4 Platinum MB I purchased as a B-day gift to myself two weeks ago wasn't a mistake? I've read so many positive...
