No improvements that I can feel or otherwise discern. When entering the
BIOS the screen doesn't appear until after my SCSI bios (Adaptec AHA-2930)
finishes. I don't have any other BIOS (like ITE or SATA) loading at boot on
this machine or otherwise I assume they would load before the BIOS appears
too, as others have reported. This isn't a biggie, but don't understand it.
I guess we'll have f9 next week to fix that bug.

You guys who updated successfully find any improvements? So far I see
lots of risk for no gain.

Did you do any benchmarks? Apparently F7 reduced about 200 points in
Sandra's memory bandwidth benchmark. I am quoting this from RC from
another
thread. I wonder if F8 was suppose to solve this.

F8 is working just fine here, with both SATA and IDE drives.
