If you go to the Gigabyte website, it will show what CPUs are supported and what versions of BIOS you need for it to work. It's hard to say what would be in the box tho. If the company you buy from has some old stock, you may get a old version BIOS. I'm not sure how that would work or if you could even get the mobo to work long enough to update the BIOS. Maybe someone else has ran into that tho. I'm planning to upgrade when I can. New CPU, new mobo and maybe new ram. I got to get a few other things done first tho. I do plan to buy Gigabyte tho.

My old Abit mobo is still rock solid. I don't run it much anymore but it still works fine even tho it is 9 years old. I have had my current Gigabyte for a couple years I guess and it is rock solid too. That is awesome to me. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...

Good to know that you do belong to the intelligent part of the population. Dale :-) :-) I would never recommend a mobo, or any puter part, that has problems it shouldn't. I do hard drives because no matter the brand, we have likely all had one to fail. A few years ago, I had my first WD failure. Do I think badly of WD, not really. I would still buy one and have bought one since that one failed me. I'm sure one of my Maxtors or one of my Samsungs will die eventually too. These are things that are normal. Mobos on the other hand, they are either good or they are junk. If you get a bad one, it will not be stable and do something funky and generally drive the owner nuts. If it is a good one, they tend to last for ages unless something external, like a cheap piece of crap power supply, messes one up. Other than that, they generally last a good while, if you got good cooling of course. ;-) Awesome to me means it does what it should and then some. It has to be more than 'pretty' or something to. lol Looks ain't everything. Yea, last I.Q. test put me at about 150 or so. Some days I wonder where that is tho. ROFL Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
