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."
