I am running XFX PVT73GUGD3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card. Lets put it this way...using Vistas rating system I was getting a 5.0 and I...

This bios also plays games better...i had this weird lagging line when I moved around playing doom, now its gone and much smoother. So they must of done something to the pci express.
