ASUS P5QPL-VM support to E5200 ?

Hi !

wanted to ask about if the Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 / 2.5 GHz processor is supported on the P5QPL-VM Motherboard! have search about it and dident find nothing about it, if its not supported, can asus update the bios so its supporting older CPUs ? Because the E5200 2.5GHz are really good for me, don´t wanna buy a new processor only because the mobo doesnt want it, therefor the question and suggestion :)

plz write !

Hi P..

The E5200 is supported but support depends on the mainboard PCB revision as well as the BIOS revision...

Code:

---

Pentium Dual Core E5200 (2.50GHz,800FSB,L2:2MB,rev.M0)          1.00G       
0204

The PCB revision will be printed on the board, probably near the name. Asus doesn't appear to list the 0204 BIOS and so I expect your board has a higher revision.

Okey!
Thank you for the very good answer, now i'm gonna buy the board :)

thanks again.
