Firmware

On the main screen, we see that the current version is P1.61. What is interesting is that this version does not appear on ASRock's page for the board; there is a jump from 1.50 to 1.90. I did not apply an update, preferring to let sleeping dogs lie when it comes to otherwise-functioning boards, unless there is something obvious or particularly valuable to be gained.
