Great chance to get the last and best owner controlled x86 board for your legacy applications - they appear to be selling them for cheap as they don't know how easy it is to flash a BIOS that can run the 42xx/43xx CPU's.

Be careful here. There is a hardware design flaw on older KCMA-D8 boards that won't allow the 42xx/43xx CPUs to run; the only way to tell is by looking at the board serial and comparing against the tables in an ASUS errata document.

Oh damn :[ do the older d16 boards have the same issue? and do you know where can I obtain this document?

So far as I am aware the D16 does not. The D16 appears to have been the development platform that was then shrunk down into the D8, something may have been skipped along the way.
Here is the serial ID guide:
