    Update BIOS or not?

    Should I update my BIOS? I have a Asus P6X58D-E and the BIOS version is 0108 from 3/23/10. Asus gives warnings that you could mess everything up and you shouldn't do it unless you have issues. I have no issues, but plan to do some overclocking.

    Anyone use Asus Ai Booster for overclocking?

    Anyone use the Asus AI Booster utility for overclocking? It's part of the Ai Suite on the CD, and it says you can use it to make overclocking settings from this Windows program instead of from the BIOS. Also, has anyone tried the Ai Gear, Ai Nap, and Ai N.O.S. programs just for fun?

    I'm building a new system with the Corsair 520w power supply and Asus P5B-Deluxe motherboard and I don't know whether to use the 4-pin or 8-pin power connector. Both manuals say use one or the other, but don't say which is preferable. Which do I use and what's the difference?

    Board with onboard video?

    Does anyone know of a "currently available" motherboard that uses a socket A AMD cpu, and has onboard video and accepts old 168 pin memory? This is for a friend where "cheap" is the most important consideration. His old board, a ECS K7SEM is dead and I can't locate a new one.
