Recently i have noticed that there are a lot of Xecuter bios fans out there. Are you for EvoX or Xecuter bios? Or, are you for the good for nothing Cromwell?

xecuter 3 bios is top of the bunch, second is X2, and evox m8 third, only because you have to reflash to change anything. Cromwell is, well, not even close. _________________

Agreed. The X3 is the cream of the crop, but as far as I know it will only run on the X3. I've heard it will run on SMartXX but not able to use all the functionality(backup eeprom, etc). _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

I'm going to have to say X3 as well. For one, as impwiz said, there is no need to re-flash to make changes (i.e. on-the-fly configuration). Then there is the huge list of options that are built in -
boot partition, quicklaunch, bios, eeprom and HDD tools, inbuilt debug mode, animation config (colours, scenes etc.) customisable MS/X3 Rox My Box logo, FTP server, skin downloads, xbox info and so on. I could go on and on, there are so many great feauters _________________
