Will the BIOS that ships with the board support Tualatin CPUs? Thanks for your time.

Chances are not. You will know for sure once you put in a Tualatin cpu in there. It will detect it wrong, although it will still run the chip at the correct speed. The bios update is available to fix it.

I just bought a new ST6 and it came with the latest 6A 11/27/01 BIOS and I dropped my Tually 1.0A in and cranked it right up!

I had to flash mine before it would recognize my Chip correctly. As Bonka said, you'll probably need to flash yours too. If your chip dosn't come up on boot up then you need to flash.

I had to flash to the latest 6A for the BIOS to identify my 1.1a correctly. But it did run ok enough to install Windows...etc before flashing.

The ST6 is made to support the Tually chip. It will boot with a Tually chip. The only problem you may have is the chip not being identified correctly by the bios. Flashing the bios to the newest version would remedy that.
