I'm going to build a new PC and i would like your opinion between these two motherboards (Asus P5K and GA-P35-DS3L). I will use E8200 or E4500 CPU. Do i need to upgrade BIOS of these motheboards to support these CPUS.
Please advise.

Never hurts to google for problems before going around flashing lol
Thanks for the information, i will go with GA-P35-DS3L but do i have to update BIOS to support E8400. I don't have a previous CPU which is been supported by this motherboard to update the BIOS.
The Gigabyte bios has supported the E8400 for some time now.
Buying the board from a vendor like newegg with good turnover will insure that you get fresh stock.
You are good to go.
