Does this board need a bios flash to support a 45nm c2d?
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale 2.53GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - CPUs / Processors

??

Thanks guyz :p

And if it does need a bios flash can someone support a cheap but good board that doesnt? probably a p45 or a p43?


Oh, and will this PSU Newegg.com - Antec earthwatts EA430 430W ATX12V v2.0 Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, FCC, TUV, CE, CB, C-tick, CCC - Power Supplies

Be able to support a e7200 + a (lets just say) a 4850/4870/8800gts 512?

And if not, will this one support it?
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power RP-550-PCAR 550W ATX from factor 12V V2.01 Power Supply 110-115V/ 220-230V Nemko, TUV, cUL, CE, BSM, FCC, CCC - Power Supplies



(Just checking some stuff out for some builds)
 
Nope all P35 boards support Wolfdales and Quad's Natively (same with Yorkys)

As for the PSU, not sure.. 17 amps on 3 rails is ok.. but you can't combine rail amperage because of inefficiency......

I'd say its enough.. but pushing it.. try to get a Rosewill RP550-2 or an Antec TPT 650w (its like $60 on the egg)
