to the latest from the original, is there anything I should know? I need to flash since I'm going from a Celeron 500 to a P3-1000. TIA

ASUS's site says this:

Notice:
If you are going to upgrade BIOS from BIOS version 1001.A (and earlier) for CUSL2 or 1002.A
(and earlier) for CUSL2-M, please make sure the following item in the BIOS setup menu is set
at [PCI/AGP] before updating the BIOS.

Advanced -> PCI Configuration -> VGA BIOS Sequence

In case the system is unable to start up properly after performing BIOS upgrade, please
remove all the add-on VGA adapters from the system and start up the system with the onboard
AGP graphics controller or clear CMOS. The add-on VGA adapters then can be installed after loading the
setup default from the BIOS setup menu.

Go into BIOS setup and hit F5 to return all settings to default. Do this before any BIOS flash with the CUSL2. Then make sure you do what Andy says on your first flash. BIOS 1003 final is your best bet.
