Driver Update questions
Sounds like what you are looking for a BIOS updates.
CPUs and motherboards do get BIOS updates same as most other hardware gets driver updates. These are usually referred to as "flashing the BIOS".
You'll need to check with the motherboard manufacturer for BIOS updates on your MoBo and instructions on how to install them. They will very likely be similar to how you install BIOS updates for your CPU.

I was reading Maximum PC and they had a great article on cleaning up your PC. So I was trying some things out and one of the things they mentioned was DriverAgent.com. I went there and did the free WebScan and was given a list of items that they felt needed a new driver.
One of the items listed was my processor. Since I'm too cheap/broke to pay a fee for them to update it for me I went on the hunt for the drivers. Needless to say I couldn't find any. I also realized that if I found them, I'm not sure I know how to update the processor drivers without screwing something up. So my question is: I have an old Althlon 64 3200+ processor, how do I safely update the drivers? The list on AMD for that processor is not immediately clear as to what I need to download.
The other items were ATA and SATA drivers. Well I don't have any SATA items in my comp so not sure why I'd need to update that but whatever. Anyway Is there something on the motherboard itself I need to look at? I have a Gigabyte K8NSC-939 board.
As usual thank to everyone ahead of time for your time and help!
p.s. I know I need to just toss this paperweight and get a new one, but it's just not an option right now. I have been dream building comps on Newegg and everywhere else for a year now. FatherXmas' guides are absolutely amazing and I'm hoping to build a new comp soon, BUT I'll be passing this one down to my son so he can play COH with me. Right now I have to "borrow" my work laptop so we can play together.
