You could try FTB Unleashed, it has a nice balance with new biomes and a lot of tech stuff. If you dont mind staying at 1.4.7, I would reccommend ultimate - still has a good amount of biomes, has a bunch of tech stuff (Greg will make sure of that)
It might be the chunks loading - try turning down the view distance to short or tiny. Also, turn on OpenGL if you havent, it can help too with this kind of thing.
If you find a bunch of aluminum bushes, use an upgraded harvester and you've got a stable source of metals. Another option would be to run around the surface looking for aluminum gravel, although it gets boring quickly.
I personally like the IC2 luminators, but make sure you place them on cables - they're a pain in the butt to recharge manually, and, so far, haven't found a way to use turtles or something to recharge them.
The onlyrpblem is that you need some lava to kick start it, but just take a couple cans and fill them...
You could also use the exact same system with an ender-thermic pump to reduce server and client lag.
Im at least 90% sure that visual stuff like light levels are calculated client-side. Thats why sometimes blocks wont be lit up properly for some people, but fine for others.
Depending on your pack, you can use ender thermic pumps. Exactly like a buildcraft pump but it replaces lava sources with stone after pumping it, so no lag.
Notice to any players wanting to join: There is a good chance that we will switch to FTB Unleashed once the pack becomes stable. In other words, don't get *too* attached to your bases, and if you have any CC programs I'd recommend pastebinning them so you don't lose any valuable work. A backup...

Lists most of the available research in the spoiler - I've noticed that some of the new stuff isn't there though.
I had to use a land-eating frame quarry with mining wells.
If you're gonna make a fusion reactor, here's a couple tips before you get started:
1) Start making fusion coils and advanced machine casings now
2) Start making fuel now - lots of deuterium and tritium
3) Try to get your fuel...
Could someone give a quick explanation of the cosmetic pane for MPS? I tried to change my helmet's color and now all the beautiful armor just doesn't show up...
No, I got it working. 8 energy injectors (I only need 6 to be able to use all recipes, but I want a bit of spare power just in case) 10 plasma generators (which leaves a ton of extra plasma in case you need more power) 32 electrolyzers fed by 20 aqueous accumulators with transformer upgrades -...
