Hi guys,
Picked up one of these boards for a total bargain, as I plan to get a nice Q9x50 in the future with some watercooling, and I may aswell get some DDR3 for when i7 is affordable, so I just had to get this board :-)
Anyway, before it arrives I was just wondering if I could get some helpful pointers/warnings about it.
Basically, is there any compatibility issues with different RAM vendors?
Which is the best BIOS for it currently?
Is the fusion block reliable (wouldnt want it to leak :S)?
Anything I should be aware when setting it up?
Things like that.. basically I'm super nervous about it as I don't want to mess it up. So if anyone can help me with those, or maybe even more golden bits of info, fire away! 
Please mind
