motherboard - cpu combatibility

[knoximator]

i'm planing on building a new office rig for my father (office purposes mainly).
i'm hoping to go with a Gigabyte EP35 DS3L and an intel E7200 after i check one thing....

i checked in the gigabyte site and it said that the motherboard does support this cpu but from a certain bios.
i'm not sure which bios version the motherboard comes with out of the box.

my question is, will i be able to boot the system even though the cpu might not be compatible (yet) flash the bios and get the system working, or do i need another older cpu to get the system to boot?????

No it won't boot if the CPU is not compatible with the installed BIOS. So you would need to use an older CPU to get the system to boot.

But the E7200 should work out of the box with the DS3L.

If he's just doing office work, why not get a G33 board instead?
