ASUS P5K Deluxe BIOS ( for overclocking Q6600 )

When I built my system 3months ago with ASUS P5K deluxe and Q6600, I had issues because the BIOS version was 202 and didn't support my CPU. Then I upgraded to 0603 and everything works fine to the date. I didn't go with 0705 that was available at that time due to the issues members reported at this and other forums. I'm building a new system now with the same combination of MOBO, and CPU. I see that BIOS version 0809 is out, and I would like to know if I should upgrade to 0809. This time my MOBO came with version 0404.. Everything works fine, no boot issues, but haven't overclocked yet. 0809 seems to have a lot of additions to it and was wondering should I upgrade to it or has any known issues ????
 
I also have the p5k deluxe motherboard. I upgraded to bios 809 as soon as they posted it to see if I could run my 4 gigs of ram at 1066. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. A see no difference from the 603 besides some extra options in the bios. I see that there are many people in the asus forums with problems with this specific board. Ive had none up to this day and think that this is a magnificent board. I currently run my Q6600 at 3.6ghz with vcore of 4.625 (4.2 after vdroop). NB voltage is stock and can still keep up with the processor and 4gb ram ddr2 800 4-4-3-8.
