Technically, all mainboards should support dual-core Opterons.
Should... Hate that word... Via was the only ones that officially stated that the K8T890 chipset has issues with dual core - but there are rumors out there that some early NForce4(pro, 2200, whatever variant) chips share the same issue.
But the market reality is why give consumers a BIOS update when you can charge for a new mainboard? ;->
Unfortunately you're on the money with that one. I scored some dual core chips from AMD and all boards I used except the newer Tyan ones don't have bios updates available...
