    I've had 211 running for a week or so... nothing different really .... I don't really know their purpose of releaseing BIOS' that doesn't improve anything....

    Sometimes, update BIOS doesn't mean it can fix the functional issue, or only improve something in a mainboard, but still be better than a previous version so long as the manufacturers test it and will not make it hurt!

    Yeah I have this one too, I'm not exactly sure what it did. I'm inclined to think nothing.
