Award 10v BIOS does not support HT. I wish to upgrade the current 3.06GHz/533MHz CPU P4 SL8JA Rev OE which is non-HT to a 3.8GHz/800MHz P4 HT SL8PY, which the product manual indicates is compatible with the mobo. The Award version 10v BIOS screen makes no mention of HT support, so I believe that I need to update the BIOS driver to an HT-supportive version so that the HT attributes of the replacement CPU can be recognized/utilised. Any factual input much appreciated.

I suggest to visit the manufacturer's website. If manufacturer has changed BIOS or Update the BIOS, the patches or new BIOS will be available there.
Testimonial: "If you can give me the website URL for pre-2008 BIOS updates I will be very happy!!! The reason I have posted the question is that the manufacturer does not list the older pages and willnot/cannot provide access to them. I have learnt that there are several updates, but finding them is another matter. I cannot even find them on WayBack Machine."
In that case write BIOS Id String or Make and Model number of your PC because sometimes different manufacturers use same model numbers.
