So,
this site lists a bunch of BIOSes for the M68xx series of laptops, but the author appears to have only done testing on the first few, and the posts in this thread give sketchy comparisons between the different versions (not that I blame them). I'm wondering if anyone has done any extensive testing with the various BIOSes to find out which one(s) show a performance or stability advantage, which one(s) work well with linux, and which one(s) work well with 64 bit OSes.
It sounds like the old 0F05.P00 works best, even better than the newer ones. I've also heard the 0F07 BIOS works well and that there is a new 0F08 BIOS but I haven't heard how well it runs or how the NSF04 runs.
I'm wondering if maybe the rampant popularity of this thread will spark one of the Anandtech editors to do some extensive testing and reporting (hint, hint, wink, wink).
