There's only one legacy of BIOS updates for this board, covering all the revisions and versions out there. With the latest two releases, you don't even have to care about whether you got the w/LAN or w/o LAN version.

ya but what im talking about is the pcb version or does it matter

It doesn't matter......

Here is a direct link to the newest BIOS in a self extracting ZIP: ftp://ftp.ecs.com.tw/bios/k7s5a021029.exe

And the required flash utility: ftp://ftp.ecs.com.tw/bios/flash/aminf333.exe

PCB _revision_ you mean. I told you above.

For everyone:

Revisions are the forward moves in product improvement: 1.x, 2.x, 3.x ...
Versions are the sidesteps taken on one given revision: w/ LAN, w/o LAN, 2- or 4-channel sound, whatever.

voodoo33500, the PCB version can be found at lower left corner of the mobo.

Revision not version. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER 'CAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE BIOS TO CHOOSE FROM.

sorry, i didn't know there was a difference between version and revision.

Anyway the revision can be found at lower left corner of the board.

voodoo33500, new k7s5a bios works with either version/revision 1.X and 3.X of the mobo.
