Anyway to tell BIOS version on NEO2 ***before*** installing processor?

I need to know if there is a way to check BIOS version before installing a processor.

I got a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard that I purchased on Newegg on Monday and arrived on Thursday of this week.

Is there anyway by looking at the numbers on the box or the motherboard to tell if the motherboard has the necessary version of BIOS to run a winchester core? I want to know BIOS version on the board I got.

I got my Neo2 Plat and 3200 winnie from Newegg monday. It booted up with no problems. I'm assuming your MB should have the latest bois to support the CPU as well. Unfortunately I don't know too much about this board, so can't tell you where to look for the bios version without posting. Good luck!

Odd's are, its either 1.2 or 1.3 I got my board back in Oct, Along with the CPU.
When I got my board, it had BIOS 1.2 on it, and it worked fine with my 3000+ Winchester.
I updated of course, only because I like to have the latest BIOS. Currently I am using 1.41 BETA.

If you got it from newegg recently its almost for sure to be 1.3 (they move 'em fast). Mine came (in October) with 1.2, and like Osirus, my 3500 booted just fine. Then I flashed to 1.3.
