Updated BIOS available to enable X2 series of CPU's recognition.

Will be picking up an AMD64 X2 4400 next week (6th), wil let everyone know how it works out.

I misread the shipping/due in dates, 16th not the 6th :( .

Got my BIOS all flashed and ready. (1013.07)

Expect a slight improvement because -
a) Double the cache
b) 3500 up to a 4400 should give a little increase, esp as I'm CPU limited with my 6800GT.
c) OS will support multi-threading so even a slight offload on to the other core should help.

NOT expecting huge increases, but every little helps.
