So what are customers to do here?...Asus have added support for the new AMD
CPU's in there final 1007 BIOS for the Asus SLI motherboard.

Read the response to the question i asked:

Answer : Dear Richard,

Thank you for your kindly mail again.
As to the problem you mentioned, in fact, we have put the Venice Core
CPUs on our testing list. However, because the CPU was release early this
month, we will still have to fully test CPU before announcing CPU support
list. We will update the CPU support list as soon as the tests are finished.

At last, if there is any further question or suggestion about our
products/service, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will try to help
you to resolve them as soon as we can.

Best Regards,
GIGABYTE Technology

Question : Hi there, i have placed an order from
www.overclockers.co.uk for a new AMD processor. It's the new Venice Athlon
64, E3, SSE3, 3800+.

My concern is BIOS support for this CPU with my motherboard, i've got
an Gigabyte GA-8KNXP-9 nForce4 Ultra motherboard with F5i BIOS.

Thus i was wondering if Gigabyte had any further BIOS updates for the
motherboard available that will support this new CPU?

Any help or new BIOS file would be appreciated, Richard.

I can't say I sympathise. You appear to have bought a recent release state
of the art CPU without checking your mobo supported it first.
I bought an AMD64 4000 in Jan but checked with all my mobo shortlist that
they stated direct support before I bought either component.
