BIOS tweaking and overclocking
The iDEQ 200P's BIOS has the most complete set of memory timings tweaks I've seen this side of a manufacturer's reference motherboard. Biostar's BIOS developers have even put in explanations of what each memory timing setting does and, in many cases, how many nanoseconds a given delay ought to be.

Get out yer slide rules, geek-masters!

Frankly, I would have preferred fewer settings with better guidance for users. There's no hierarchy of timings options like the helpfully cheesy "Turbo" or "Aggressive" choices in many BIOS menus, and once you choose to set memory timings manually, you're almost completely on your own. The manual menu doesn't even seem to base its default settings off, say, the SPD values on the current DIMMs or a reasonably conservative baseline.

For overclocking, the 200P's BIOS allows HyperTransport speeds from 200 to 250MHz in 1MHz increments, along with a few different voltage settings each for the CPU and memory. What you won't find, however, is any option to change AGP/PCI divisors.

The 200P's hardware monitoring features are quite good, with a full complement of voltage and fan speed monitoring options and a CPU temperature threshold for system shutdown. I wish there were some fan failure alarms, too, but inside the 200P, the CPU temperature should probably serve that purpose. The 200P also has temperature-controlled CPU and chassis fans, which we'll talk about next.
