Am I going to need to update the BIOS on my motherboard if I am replacing the processor I currently have (an AMD 3800+ Socket 939 2.41 GHz) to a 4800 x2 939? My mobo is an Asus A8N-LA (HP calls it Nagami2-GL8E) Socket 939. If it makes any difference, the computer was offered with a dual core or a single core when I bought it, I was just cheap an went with the single.
Thanks
