Watch out with this BIOS update.  How do you plan on getting this to work?
The 815EEA supported procs list
(http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/D815EEA/ea_proc.htm) only
goes up to 1.0 GHz.  Did they mess up with the rev 10 release and unlock up
to 1.2 GHz?

I tried the same thing with an EEA board and it didn't work.  I have an EEA2
board with an updated BIOS, but it doesn't work either because it's not the
proper revision code (you can check this via a label on the board or use
SiSoft Sandra).  The problem is that the protocol and pin layout was changed
between Coppermine and Tualatin processors.  I don't think falling back a
BIOS rev is going to help.  If it does, let me know.

All is not lost (especially if you already own the proc like I do).  I found
the article below and have ordered one of these socket converters.
