I just this weekend put together a system using the GA-P35-DS3L (rev. 2.0) and an E8400. The BIOS it came with is F6, and everything seems to be working fine. Windows reports it’s running at 3.0 GHz, it seems quite stable on Vista Ultimate, and I can play BioShock with everything turned up at 1920x1200. Is there any conceivable reason why I should flash to the F8a BIOS, which as you all know is a beta BIOS. If I don’t need to do it, I don’t want to do it. What do you think?
