Can't seem to find info on this subject anywhere.
I bought an ASRock 775i65G Mobo a month ago with the intention of getting a C2D 4500 CPU after the price reduction. I now see that the E4500 has the (M0) stepping which requires the P3.20 BIOS. I think that the BIOS version that is presently on the Mobo is the 2.80. I don't know this for sure because I don't have a 775 CPU to try it out.
My question. Will the E4500 boot up with the earlier version so that I can do a BIOS update in DOS?
Any advise will be much appreciated.
