New 6700 user question

[xameius]

Hello! I just got my 6700 (Sprint) today and I've been searching around seeing what I can do with this awesome new toy...and I'm a little overwhelmed! From what I gather, I want to go the Clean and Simple ROM route, but I have some questions before I do:

1 - I currently am running 2.06.00 WWE, Radio 1.12.00. Do I need to upgrade to a newer OEM rom first?

2 - Will a hard reset completely kill all of my activation info? It took me a little over an hour to get this thing activated (stupid sprint CS) and so I do not want to have to go through that hassle again if at all possible.

3 - What's that site (I think it was on audiovox's site) that has all of the OEM roms listed and downloadable, just in case I need to revert backwards.

Thanks for everyone's assistance! I love this thing and I know I've barely scratched the surface.
