ok the dual power I spoke off is the dps as illustrated by gamer

the dual bios is just an extra bios chip afaik.
if a biosflash goes wrong, you still have a backup bios to boot your system up and hopefully fix the first bios flash.

if it's not a physical extra chip then it's probably something like thoes bios saviors. those aren't acutal bios chips eather but they do exactly the same thing.

Ok, Im now either going msi k8n neo2 platinum and Athlon 64 3200 or socket 754 3400. But heres whats holding me up. I was reading the madshrimps review again. And I see they do tests at 2ghz and 2.5. Does this realy give an accurate reading? Comparing stock speeds anyway...Didnt they have to down clock the 3400 to run 2 gig? Seeing the 3400 runs at 2.4 I have to think that it will run just a bit slower than what it did at 2.5. and the 3200 will run 2 stock. In this case the 3400 754 would whip the 3200 939 at STOCK speeds. Im not talking overclocking or none of that stuff. What do you think? thanks
