It appears that all BIOS revisions after the 6-29-05 release support dual core CPUs.
When you first POST the board you'll know whether you have to flash or not.

I bought it on 8/18/05 so that would mean my mobo supports dual?

[clocker]

Not necessarily.
The motherboard was in the distributor's pipeline and sitting on a shelf for a while before you bought it.

Chances are you'll need to flash.
I saw reference to an on-line flashing procedure from Epox that may be just the ticket.
Google it.

What do I google? Sorry man but I'm always at a loss of what terms to use when googling.

Go here and scroll down to "Magic Flash 2.2".

Thanks man. Just flashed it, going to reboot to see what happens.

Well, nothing happened except for the system clock going back a month but all is fine I guess.

You went cheapo on the PSU. Rosewill

Does it recognize the second core now?

I'm not getting the dual core till monday (tomorrow). Yeah, well, as long as the rosewill runs fine then its good enough. I don't want it going over 1500.
