I haven’t performed a BIOS update before, but it’s important. Should you use a random USB drive and follow the BIOS Instant Flash instructions?

You're likely right—most A320 variants don't support overclocking. Let me know if you'd like clarification!

the latest bio won't introduce new capabilities to chipsets lacking those features... not even for a series board I'm familiar with. overclocking the cpu remains a separate consideration—it's part of what makes the a320 special.
