New CPU and OLD MOTHERBOARD. Will this boot up?

[cornholio2]

I'm ready now to buy ASUS A8N-E and Venice or San Diego. Do you think the mobo will be able to boot up for me to update the bios?

I had the same question. I ended up not getting the venice because I wasn't sure. In the main thread someone mentions being able to boot up witha san diego.

Old motherboard? Hardly. Old is an Asus A7V.

I'd suggest you flash the BIOS before attempting to use the newer based chips.

How? Flashing the mobo when the cpu is already installed is my question. I have no spare cpu that's why i want to know if i will be able to post so i can flash the bios.
