The Asus P5a is a super Socket-7 board, isn't it ? The kind that uses Pentiums & K6-2 CPUs if I'm not mistaken (I had one). Why do you want to update the BIOS . A BIOS update will not make it work with Athlons as that board is too old & has the wrong physical socket for such a CPU.

Do you really wanna risk messing up such a "collectable" piece of hardware ? ;)
