Does the pre-release BIOS work? I keep reading about problems with the MB. As much as I like it for its use of "Military Class" electronic components and its 5 year warranty I'm thinking about returning it because of so many problems with the BIOS that I read about online.

Can't say I have had any problems with my board. And yes, the pre-release BIOS works well.the only differnce between the BIOS i got and the official release is that the one I have doesn't have the throttling issue. But then, that BIOS didn't work for EarthDog, I do not think.
As always, ram used is key.

So long as you use those bios, you will be fine. The board is a champ with those.
