[Gigacore]

off topic- which is the cheapest SLI capable mobo in the market?

[sashijoseph]

and is the latest version available which does not require a bios update???? if yes, what is the way to recognize that!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is.It's the P03 bios revision.
To recognise it you'll need to boot up and note the bios string for a P03 at the end.
Just tell your dealer to connect the proccy,ram,and graphics card and show the display.

Any other way to identify the bios upgrade if the dealer does not agree to comply with the above conditions!!!!!!! Any identifications on the box????? and may i know since when xfx start to ship the upgraded mobos........i think that may help as well!!!!!!!
