SN41G2 V2 and Sempron

Just orderd a SN41G2 V2 and a Sempron 2200+ from Aria for a mate but have been reading latley that without an updated BIOS the thing won't post with a Sempron in it.

Anyone orderd one of these shuttles from Aria latley and used a Sempron without flashing the BIOS?

just flash it mate it's easy enought to do

I know it's easy to do, but they sometimes don't boot up with a Sempron installed and don't think I have a spare CPU here.
