The PURE Black X58 uses the very stable and user friendly AMIBIOS. The design of the BIOS categorizes the advanced options menu at the top of the page and the sub-menu for that category fills the screen below. The options along the top include "Main", "Performance", "Advanced", "PCIPnP", "Boot", "Security" and "Exit" options.
Upon entering the BIOS, the "Main" option is selected. This menu is very basic and lists the BIOS version, installed processor, memory capacity and has options to adjust the date and time.
The next option is the "Performance" menu, which is where all overclocking to the system's components is done from within the BIOS. In this menu you can make changes to the processors bclock, multiplier and voltages. It also allows for changes to the speed, timings and voltages of the installed memory and voltage adjustments to specific internal components.
The "Advanced" tab is where changes to the on-board components are made.
The "PCIPnP" menu is the section used to deal specifically with the PCI bus and Plug and Play (PnP) settings.
The "Boot" menu allows users to set the boot parameters for their installed HDD and ODD devices.
The "Security" menu allows you to set a user password and the "Exit" menu is where changes are either saved or discarded prior to exiting the BIOS. You can also load the factory defaults from this menu.

Don't know where you got this number from, as all the X58 boards I have seen, allow for up to 24GB of memory.[link name=]http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=2&leg=&psn=000102&gid=1039&sgid=1051[/link]
The only other things I don't like about the design of this board is for $300; Sapphire should have done away with the PS2/ keyboard, the legacy IDE connector, and the PCI 32 bit slot...if I have the money to blow on an X58 board, then I want the latest technology, not legacy parts cluttering up my board.
