Hi Guys
I'm Recently Got Asus P4S800D-X
Good And Little Dusty Condition
Bios Version It's 1003
And I Don't Have Floppy Disk
So How Update Bios On This Motherboard? Becuase I ordred Pentium 4 3ghz(SL7PM)
The BIOS version on the motherboard may not recognize this CPU at all

With the EEPROM programmer. But if it's working correctly leave it be.

If your motherboard can boot to a USB drive, that would be the easier way to go; but I doubt that is an option on that board. This link has instructions on how to create and use a CDRW for updating the BIOS, so hopefully you have one, or can get one for a reasonable price. https://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-cd.htm

According to the Asus support page 3.00GHZ/1M/800 spec processors have had BIOS support since 1002, so you should be OK

Why not? USB boot was pretty standard in the late Pentium 4 era. In any case, CD-R/RW will work as well.

I second that.

I just checked, and my mid Pentium 4 era Amptron M930LR allows you to boot from a USB floppy drive, and I was able to do so. It also has the option to boot from a "USB HDD" so it ought to be able to boot from a USB thumbdrive that's the correct size and file format. Best option if available.

I've seen (and used) many end of the line BIOS updates from Asus that were classified as beta, but I've never had an issue (that I'm aware of) caused by this.
