Update of bios

[Glut]

Hey everyone,
I'm going to buy a new computer and I have a problem. The motherboard doesn't support the CPU I'm buying until I've flashed the bios to a newer version.

I've contacted the company that I'm buying the products from and they couldn't answer wich bios version it is on their motherboards. I thought that it might be a possibility that there's already a newer bios installed but.. couldn't confirm it sadly.

The motherboard is a M2N-Sli Deluxe and the CPU is an AMD x2 6000+ (125w version).


Now to the question - is it possible to flash the bios with the CPU that it shouldn't support until after an update? Or wouldn't it even start up?

You just answered your own question, if it boots and calls the processor like a 5200 or a unknown processor you will be able to use the floppy and update it, if it doesnt you will have to use a processor that does let it boot or get Asus to send you a updated bios chip. More than likely it will boot.

That's a chance I'd rather not take. Can take ages for Asus to send me another chip I'd guess. Anyone who's been in the same situation or know if it'll work for sure?
