I would like to hear people's opinions on these two BIOSes. I don't overclock, but I heard that the "mainstream" BIOSes from MSI had performance issues. Is that true?

Also, I heard that the overclocking BIOS has "voltage issues."

Anyone care to elaborate or state their opinion?

For a non-overclocker, is the "standard" 2.5 BIOS the best choice? Does it support 4-way memory interleave?

Thanks in advance!

I have a K7T Turbo R and am using the 2.5 ver bios with no problems.
The only difficulties I've experienced was with using an internal Zip 100 and there is a patch that fixed that one. BTW I am not overclocking either and am running a Duron 850. This board seems very stable and works well (I've only had it up and running for a couple of weeks)

I prefer the b16 due to the fact it has more memory tweaks.
