Will prime95 monitor and record too? Is it safe to run so early in the processors life, or does it need some 'bedding in' time?

Thanks for the help so far everyone!

Is there any reason my 750gb WD drive is showing up as 698gb? I've known of a few gb's being missing before, but never 50!! Had a look in hardware manager, doesn't seem to be any part of the disk not in use.

Thats about right, my 1TB shows as 931Gb after a format, its to do with the way a harddrive size is measured.

One final question!

My current bios version is 0705

There has been 4 more versions since, including 1 beta.

Do i just install the latest bios, or do i need to install each new version since my current one?

Personally, I'd install the latest non beta

Thanks guys. Just installed the latest official beta. So much easier than it used to be, with this asus update program.

My bios is still resetting itself, which is a pain in the arse. I've a battery around here somewhere, will have to try to dig it out.
