Update Bios for AM3 Users?

[Shaddox]

Howdy guys, I hope you guys are excited about the new AM3 chips going retail today like I am. I'll be hitting the buy button in a few days =). I was wondering if a new system will need its bios updated with an earlier AM3 CPU like a 720BE first before a 920/955 can be installed (similar to how a AM2+ board needed a AM+2 CPU to update the bios before the newer 940/920 could be used)?

I'm gonna go with this baby:

If your motherboard is AM3, then you do not need a bios update to fit in the AM3 cpus..

Even AM2+ CPUs are being shipped with a updated bios and they are also "AM3 CPU ready"
