Default Bios versions install help!!!

Hi all, i want to update my BIOS on my ASUS P5N32 SLI SE DELUXE.
The thing is that i have the first original bios and there are 7 newer versions.
Obviously i want the latest one which i think is 0.901
The question is, do i have to install all the older ones first or can i just install the latest version???
Thanks Ren.

Thanks Tindolos, i see you have the same processor as me.
I can't get mine past 2.7 ghz.
Do you think it's my old bios version giving me problems???
Also i have noticed that my mobo supports 667 mhz and 553 mhz memory, but i am running 800 mhz memory.
Should i turn the memory speed down to 667 or 553 so it would give my mobo more headroom to get me up to 2.9 or 3.0 ghz????

That depends on whether you are running it on a divider or not. If you can unlink it, I would try that and see if you can't push past 2.7Ghz.

If you are already running it without a divider, I would try to lower your ram speed first and then try to achieve a higher overclock. Once you've hit the 3.0 mark, then bump your ram speed back up.

Ok, i tried to lower the ram speed to 533 and to 667 unlinked but i still can't get passed the 1200 fsb (2.7) ghz mark.
Damn, why can't i hit the 3.0 ghz mark everyone else seems to be getting???/
This is so frustrating
I want to burn my mobo
