Why are you wanting to update it, what isnt it doing that you think will be improved by updating it Jon  

[jon996]

tis cos my system is unstable and either freezes or reboots..so i look in event viewer and tis a bios problem...chars

Hi Jon, I cant identify your mobo from the information you have supplied.
The KT-133A K7 chipset is used in a lot of different boards.
Can you tell me which make, model and revision number, if any, you have please  

[jon996]

tis a Epox 8kta3 revision...1.0

Have a look here Jon :

Your mobo is about half way down the page and has two newer versions than you current one.

Sorry Jon, the last on the Epox section on the same page :

EP-8KTA3
8KTA3 Bios 219 - Download
This bios is dated 2/19/01. Fixes: Fixed system hang (Debug card post "C0") issue if CMOS checksum fail and pressing "F1" button.
Fixed DRAM size detection issues.
Fixed AGP voltage display if AGP card uses 3.3 voltage.
Fixed some Windows 2000 install issues.
Updated HPT370 BIOS to V1.0.3B (EP-8KTA3+ only).

Unfortunately it appears to be the same date as the one you have already so it looks like there isnt a newer one available
