   First time poster and concerned citizen

I just purchased the AsRock c236 wsi mITX server board after extensive research and it is being sent as we speak from Amazon US as it is not available in Australia.  

My plan was for the Skylake E3-1245v5 processor based on reviews and builds I researched.  I have not purchased the processor yet and discovered that Intel are releasing the  Kaby Lake Xeon E3-1245v6 with upgraded video.  I understand that a bios update is required to utilize the new generation of processors, but cannot find my motherboard on the list.  

The Kaby Lake  Xeons do not seem to be released as yet, but would hate to buy Skylake and a few weeks later have the new processors available. Or find my board is not upgradable and a new version of the new c236 wsi mITX board compatible with Kaby Lake is released.

Am I doomed to building a new computer with OLD technology?
