I bought a Biostar 965PT in November of 2006 to run an E6400. The last
BIOS update was in May of 2007. There is no support for 45 nM CPUs.
There was never official support for quad core CPUs.

Here is the current CPU support list for the comparable Asus P5B:
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5B

At this time, CPU support on a Socket 775 board may be moot, but this
will always stick in my mind.

To it's credit, the 965PT board is still running the 65 nM E6400 at 3.2 GHz
with 2.8xx volts. Although the CPU was stable at 3.4 GHz with a little more
voltage, I prefer the lower setting. I ran my Q6600 in it for a while at 3 GHz,
but after a while, it became unstable and I had to slow it down. The Q6600
is now running happily at 3 GHz in my wife's computer on a Gigabyte
G31M-ES2L board.
