When this motherboard came out it was originally meant to run with Skylake CPUs, but with F20 bios or newer it is also able to run Kaby Lake processors. I already have a Kaby i5 processor, if I buy one of these boards with an older bios installed does that mean that I will need a Skylake cpu to get it running so that I can upgrade the bios to make it ready to work with a Kaby Lake processor?
And one other question. The board has four RAM slots. I've always run RAM in pairs so I don't even know what would happen if I only had a single stick of memory to run with this motherboard. I read the manual for this motherboard and they're not really clear on the question so I'm asking. Can I run this board with one stick of memory? Thanks in advance.
