    Well, the fan still comes on sort of like 0207, but it actually TURNS OFF now!
    So yes, from what I see, the fan issue has been fixed...

    I give this BIOS a green light. [ :D]

    Well I'm gonna stick with what works for awhile, last time I rushed to 207 which caused a hole lots troubles for me. I'll wait and see if anyone has problems with the 208 first this time...
    I hope they release a new gpu update for the M6Ne soon, its been almost 6 months.

    Well, I've been using 0208 for a day now... It seems quieter than 0207. The fan actually knows when to turn off now, so I think all querks have been worked out.
    Finally, good, reliable BIOS (I hope I didn't jinx it)
