I know that there are often revisions to the BIOS released for various motherboards...sometimes several revisions. When purchasing a mobo, is it safe to say that they usually will come with the most recent (or close to the most recent) BIOS revision? Or will they all come with the first BIOS, no matter when it's purchased?

Thanks in advance!

Generally motherboards do not come with the latest bios revision. But the revision version they come with would depend on when that batch of boards were bought from the manufacture. The latest batch would have a newer bios revision to address issues and compatibillities.

On another note. There is an old mechanic's saying. If it ain't broke do not fix it. Never update your bios unless it address an issue / problem you may be having with your motherboard.
