How to tell DP35DP BIOS version before buying CPU?

Recently purchased a DP35DP. According to Intel, it will support the
Q9300 and E8000 series with BIOS version 0326. I don't have a spare
CPU. Can I tell which BIOS by looking at the mainboard? Is there much
chance that recently shipped mainboards have an earlier BIOS?

Thanks.

It doesnt matter when it was shipped, its when it was built that counts
The latest bios is 0437 you would be able to update to this from a
floppy/cd/stick
