Will the latest R01-C0 BIOS on the E380 model support Quad Core Processor Upgrades ... If so, anyone have experience with AMD Phenom series (AM2+) on that nVidia MCP61S + MCP61P Mobo/Chipset combination ? I realize the Mobo only has AM2, but I've read that other than some obscure power management feature with the onboard video (which I have disabled anyway since I'm running an 8800GTS card), they should be interchangable... (AM2 and AM2+ that is)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated ... I dont have the funds to upgrade to a new mobo with DDR3 support etc - I want to milk this older E380 system for a few more years :-)

Thanks - Wuffy68
