I've been wanting to upgrade my CPU from an old E2200 to a Q9300 on my P5QL PRO Asus. My bios has never been updated and I've gone to the Asus website to try and find out if I need to update it or not to be compatable for the new CPU. My bios version is revision 1.xx

Anybody know off hand if I do indeed need to flash my bios for the upgrade?
 
Thanks for the reply. I guess I will bite the bullet and attempt to flash my bios. If It doesn't go well... time to upgrade my mobo too.
 
Awesome program. You are correct. The revision was my mobo revision number and not my bios version. Blond moment!

I'm running version 0402 which I believe is compatable with the Q9300 intel chip. Off to do more research and then Tiger Direct!
 
And my new Quad Core 9300 is on order. Thank you very much for all your help.

And for my next trick... new mobo for SLI.

Thanks again.
