Is The Asus P5W Still Shipping With A BIOS...

That doesn't support C2D?

Just asking because I don't have a spare LGA775 CPU or a motherboard with an 8mbit BIOS to flash the P5W. :confused:

I suppose I could borrow a friends comp and flash it in that.

Please say they are shipping with the new BIOS.

All the OCUK ones have at least the 0701 bios which should be fine. They have removed the disclaimer about this motherboard now.

Awesome.

Thanks Jay_t for the fast reply.

I got my p5w today and it came with bios 1011, so I think it is pretty safe these days to assume that you will get a board that support c2d without a spare 775 cpu.

You bought that from here ? Does it have 1.85 vMCH in bios ?
