10x7 for everything - some games I use 16bit, others 32 bit. Depends on what the performance hit is.

I use a Logitech Deluxe Access. It's got a few of those internet buttons, but I don't use them. I used to use Key Tronic keyboards and in my opinion they are one of the better, but no one sells them anymore :(.

Looks very cool. Until they provide something other than that little clip - I'll pass. I wouldn't put anything that heavy on the CPU without bolts.

Man, I feel for you. That sucks. Do you know anyone with a Pro2-A that will let you hotswap the bios chip? If so, you could try that - just make sure you guys are aware of making a bad situation worse if that goes wrong. Not sure what MSI charges for a BIOS but expect about $25 if they are...

Most of the time I buy the retail version because, like jhhnn, it gives me piece of mind AND I have had better luck with them. If you are planning on OCing the crap out of it, go OEM - because the warranty is voided anyway. On another note, I see all these cooler reviews for the Tbirds, but...
