Went from 43 beta to 44 beta? No final releases? What about USB issues, nothing to fix those yet?

Did you do windows update for XP with Realtek Nic drivers? Most have been finding that this is what is causing USB dropping?

Kind of wondering why the E758_44.iso file you link to in your OP is not the same size filename or size as the one on the support page? Which one should we be using?

I am still using the SZ2R BIOS. I am not having any problems. Is there any reason I should update to a newer BIOS? I hate to break what is already working, but if there is some benefit I am missing, I would update.
Also, is the BIOS revision scheme changing? We went from SZ2Z to 44?

Jacob, two questions: 1. What's the difference between 43 Beta and 44 final version? Is it worth updating? 2. When are we going to see a fix for S3 issues?

Yes at one point the Primary Download Link was a file named E75844.iso which was different than E758_44.iso in size.

Hmmm... I'm wondering if I did this right...
My x58 SLI arrived today - I can't build the system because I received all the parts EXCEPT the case, but I thought I'd burn a BIOS update with this pc.
I used Nero to burn a CD using the .iso, and while it completed "Successfully", the disc appears to be blank in Windows explorer, though the CD's name is showing up as 20100204_2343, and 1.45 mb of space is used.
This PC, is obviously not built around a x58, so I'm not about to reboot with this CD in to see if it works, but is this normal?

I have just updated to this bios and it doesnt seem to use my XMP profile properly. I use the Dummy OC with the turbo modes and all worked fine before. Now when I used the XMP profile before i was using my ram at its rated 1600. Now its giving me a weird speed, if my memory is running in Triple channel, do I multiply my DRAM frequency which is 638.4 x 3 or by 2? Cause if so its either running at 1915.2 or 1276.8. My FSB:DRAM is 2:8 and my bus speed is 159.6.

Any more user experiences on this? It's been up for 3 days.. not a lot of comments. To me that means one of two things: - Few people have actually tried the new BIOS - many are just waiting for others to 'break the ice', or..
- The BIOS is solid for most, thus no news = good news.
I wonder which it is though..

I won't update to newer until I know its time tested...at least a few weeks. That's just me though. Hell, I still swear by XP, windows 7 looks like its getting better...but I'd rather have an operating system that I know works flawless with essentally all software on the market. I'll give it about a year before I consider using windows 7 which gives software companies time for compatability and stability.
