Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP Bios Revision

[Odc]

Can anyone tell me what BIOS revision the Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP ships with? (LN15170)

This has been asked before. Quote from another thread:

We would be unable to confirm the bios of the board prior to purchase as this would mean us physically unpacking the product.

We can however if you prefer update the bios on the motherboard for you, however there will be a £10 + VAT fee for this service.

If you decide you want the board flashing with the latest bios then it would be easier to place the order with the sales department to ensure that this gets done.

Any idea when these will be in stock? I've had mine on pre-order for a while with my new C2D. It's the only thing holding up my order (I'm not complaining about that, I chose to have all the items ship at once ).

Why not get one of the P35 boards instead? Seems a bit odd buying a high end 965 board now when 45nm upgradable P35 baords have been out for a while now. (Typing this on a comp with an 11 month old P5B Deluxe/Wifi-AP )

Got to agree with Rob, the P5K board is pretty smart indeed. Seems no reasons to buy the P5B now although I am not 100% happy with the Wireless AP, a bit clunky when it comes to ICS issues.

Sorry but as yet we've not got a date for these as the last batch did not arrive as scheduled on the 14th July.

I would recommend what the above posters are suggesting and check out the P35 based boards as they give future support for the 1333 Mhz based processors.
