I just purchased my A8V mb from NewEgg for use w/an AMD X2.

1. What is the likeliehood it shipped w/an X2 compatible bios?

2. If not does this workaround work for updating it?

"Rename the new bios A8v.rom(it should be something like a8v1013.ami),

and copy the renamed new bios (A8v.rom) to a floppy. Then start the

computer with the floppy disk in the drive while pressing alt F2

repeatedly. This will start a bios erase/rewrite program, which upgrades

the bios."

I got mine a month ago and it had the most recent BIOS installed for me to
plug in my 4400
