Just wondering what kind of framerate improvement people might see comparing
stock BIOS to some of the modded BIOS's....

Also, is it a really bad idea to try the modded BIOS without a BIOS saviour?

I don't think you would see any improvement if your running at the same
clock speed.
The modded BIOS's 'may' let you run a higher FSB, which in turn could
improve performance but this really depends on your hardware, not all
systems will run sky high FSBs even with tweaked BIOS's.
As long as the BIOS's have been well tested there should be no more risk in
flashing than with an official BIOS.

No bench [s] but, over a period of three days I flashed about a dozen
times including ' tictac ', ' EQuito ' and ' PR3ACH3R '.

I even ran the NF7-S as a HARDM3NU below :

For all the different official and unofficial bins I used Abit [s]
Flashmenu133.exe from within WinXP with no problems whatsoever.

Ok....but have you seen any benefit from these non-factory bioses?
Specifically, can you reach a higher fsb than you could before?

I gained about 13fsb using TicTac's version of d23 for my rev.2.0 with
2x512Mb XMS3200 - 217fsb>230fsb & quite possibly the RAM is holding it back
from going even further.

I'm already at 230fsb with the stock bios, and with PC3500 ram. This
230fsb 'ceiling' is well-known with nf7-s, the question is whether one can
get beyond it with a new bios.

I couldn't get beyond about 218 with the "official" BIOS but with TicTac's
modded it would then do 229/230 (& yes, Prime stable).
