Any vendors ship MB with latest Bios ?

[toolman3]

anyone know of a vendor that sells motherboards that they will update the bios prior to shipping? I'm building my first computer and have everything but the motherboard and vid card so dont need a combo,just the motherboard.

Monarch only updates the bios if you buy a cpu/motherboard combo. Give them a call tho and maybe they can do it for you for a nominal fee.

I ordered a 3700+ San Diego (ADA3700BNBOX) and a MSI Neo4 Platinum from Monarch just last week.........I finished building it last night and it worked perfectly on the first try........no BIOS updates necessary.......came out of the box with BIOS v1.3 and detected the CPU as a Athlon 64 3700+........CPU-Z shows that it's a 90nm San Diego w/ SSE3.

Better get yours now.....after people read this they'll be flying off the shelves at Monarch.
