My Dual Harper - Asus Z7S WS living review *56K warning*

[angelshonnny]

I am not sure what stepping E5430's are, but I just received the motherboard today from ANT and I am guessing it must have the very latest BIOS. The thing is I cannot even get a post to be able to upgrade the BIOS. Seems like an unbelievably stupid thing for Asus to ship a board in 2009 that can't support a processor that Skulltrail supported in early 2008.

Anyway will non Xeon dual core or quadcore processor work? Or does it have to be a Xeon processor?

Thanks

Hey spiro, where do you live? I know that one of the guys on this forum live in the USA, and he got Asus to overnight him a BIOS chip with the 0401 BIOS on it. If I can remember correctly, it cost him 25$. The chip is removable, if you didn't already know that. And no, mine didn't have the latest BIOS, it has only been released on 24.10.2008(0401 here:http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us). So the most of the boards that are at the resellers at this moment, probbably still have the old BIOS, unless they sell many of these, wich I doubt.
