    Yep, you need to upgarde BIOS to v1.3224. I wouldn't go there if I were you, unless you are thinking of getting a 64-bit system. Core 2 Duo takes 34W instead of 31W and will eat away a lot of minutes into your battery life. (you'd also need to self-apply thermal paste as you'll most likely remove the stock thermal paste during installation)
