I'm using BIOS 0907. It's a bit more difficult to use than the stock version (0401) that it came with. I've heard at least one person say the latest version (1207) isn't great for overclocking. http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20080812001912671&board_id=1&model=Maximus+Formula&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
So, I've some questions:
1. I doubt I'll switch from a Q6600 processor in this system but what is the best BIOS for overclocking? 1102 or 1207?
2. Why is 0907 no longer available for download? Could it be a bad one?
3. How do I update the bios when the ROM file 2mb and a floppy is 1.44mb? I used the windows software to flash the bios last time (it worked then I read afterwards it wasn't a good idea, so don't fancy doing it again...)
4. How do I "back up" my BIOS? If I want to revert?
