That newer bios MIGHT just allow you to use that chip. But you will have to get another chip that the board WILL support to be able to flash the BIOS to the newer one. See if a firend of yours has a chip sitting around that you can borrow to flash the new BIOS. OR you could even take the board into a local computer shop and ask to borrow one of theirs to get it flashed up. They might charge you a few dollars but it beats getting a new MB.
