Asus P5W DH & Retail Conroe BIOS Issues

[Calapuso]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before but i found this earlier on and thought it was useful information for C2D And Asus Mobo buyers.

Quote from overclock3d.net.

"There have been several threads in various forums around the internet telling P5W DH owners that they need to 'hot-flash' their motherboards or use another LGA775 chip in the motherboard to get the latest BIOS installed, however this is not the case...

After a recent chat with Asus, we have been told that the P5W DH board WILL boot with the retail Conroe's (but may display an error message), and will allow you to update to the latest BIOS version without any problems."

See the author of this thread. He has this board, I believe - and has the info on the necessary BIOS flash:
