Agreed with my two excellent friends as above. Though I haven't updated my BIOS for an while (mainly cause I'm happy with my OC)

im pretty sure this isnt correct. newest bios fixes issues and also creates new ones
. this is true with every driver and software update. everytime you fix something another thing comes up. also i got better performance with a certain version of bios which isn't the newest. and also modded bioses may increase performance and most of the times unlock hidden features. this is the same as the vga driver. in my case i got better performance using 77.72 than using other drivers which other people may find better for their setup. you can't say "for me it's better so it's better for you aswell". you have to try it yourself with your current setup. also updating bios may increase overclocabilty

This is correct but it really depends mainly on who's supporting your board I suppose
If ur 1337 and r0ck teh DFI u get a range of custom choices depending upon ram and cpu types.In 99% of all scenarios, the newest revisions are the best
:wavey:hmmm actually i made some very good experiences with ASUS. High quality, good performance, alot stuff that comes with each motherboard.
I realy think ASUS is a very good Company. They know what they are doing.
ATM it seems like they have some problems (NB Fan on ASUS A8N-SLI etc.).

Agreed - Asus boards are good stock board - just not good for overclocking
Don't know why you guys always say that. I'll give proof from both sides
