Hi Guys How yall doin IM L.tee im new to the forum so apologies for incorrect post assuming it is.

I recently bought a core 2 quad Q8600 cpu only to find out its not supported by motherboard.
I Discovered the board ( Gigabyte 945GCM-S2C) supports all other varients of core 2 quad cpus just not the one i bought.

I would like to know if a bios update adds support for a cpu.

My System Specs:
Core 2 duo E5800
Memory: 4gb DDR2 800mhz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 210
Mobo: Gigabyte 945GCM-S2C

Thanx for your help in advance
BTW Im South African just tryn to trick out my mobo cnt afford the new stuff just yet upgrade works out cheaper.
