I just about to buy my new pc, but if I buy this mobo, I don't know how to update the bios (siince you'd need a compatible cpu do do it first) Is there any other way? thanks

What exactly are you doing? You're going to buy a new computer and are going to buy the motherboard first? And your old computer has a CPU that is incompatible with the new motherboard? If that's the case, what's the rush in updating the bios? Just wait until you get the new, compatible CPU, then update the bios. The bios update is really a simple process and isn't that big of a deal if you're just building the machine.

I have a laptop, and the old pc I have is Intel. I'll buy everything at the same time.
