Hi, ive got a mate looking to get one of these with an ASUS A8N -SLI Delux. Will it need a bios upgrade for it to boot? And if so is there any way to do with without the hassle of fitting another chip first.

yes i would need a bios update. I would maybe get your mate to look at the DFI lanparty sli-d mobo. http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/comp...quicklinx=3M74
sorry and to answer your 2nd part of the question...... download the driver to floppy and hold ALT+F2 on boot. This will force it to boot from the disc.
Thanks, ill make sure he getts a floppy drive, didnt want to go through putting another chip in, heatsinking it up and so on.
I have a Asus A8N myself and personaly i think there the best around, the selector switch looks rather dodgey on most of the other bords. So asus for teh win IMO.
