I have a 4600 2.66gig 533 fsb. I got the pc in Dec. 03. I updated to A10 BIOS in Jan. 04. Now I am wondering if I have the proper version of BIOS installed? Thanks for your time.
There is no "proper version" of the BIOS. If it works, then there is no reason to update the BIOS. That said, the latest version of the BIOS for your system is version A12. Quoting from the downloads page for this version -
"The following changes have been made to BIOS rev A10 to create A12:
1. Fixed Quick Boot menu when no bootable drives are selected in SETUP. 2. Updated microcode for newer CPUs. 3. Eliminated possible hang on next boot when AC power is removed. 4. Fixed intermittent hang in resuming from Standby. 5. Improved keyboard test when booting from Hibernate. 6. Fixed possible hang after unplugging and re-plugging USB hubs. 7. Increased USB keyboard wait time to allow all USB devices being enumerated. 8. Added to support in PXE boot environments with Spanning Tree enabled. 9. Prevent false MCE errors from causing "bad CPU" error in POST. 10. Fixed floppy access failures when CD floppy emulation is turned off."
