    Can anyone, please, give me a few tips on how to update BIOS on my W3J? There some files on Asus website which look like BIOS update, but there is no description or instruction on what they are and how to install them. One is called: BIOS Ver.207
    Support Yonah D0 stepping CPU T2700 (I have a T2500 cpu)
    and the one under Bios-utilities category: V2.10 AFLASH2 Utility for DOS

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Just download and extract the BIOS image (207) to your desktop, download and install Asus WinFlash, and then let WinFlash do the rest - it's designed to work inside XP and do the update, and you don't have to use the DOS-based AFLASH. The procedure is pretty much automatic, and you shouldn't have any problems - instructions for using WinFlash can be found at the Asus download site, click on How To Upgrade BIOS button, and then WinFlash upgrade procedure. I've had no trouble using this to upgrade the old BIOS on my z63 to the latest W3 BIOS.
