The used motherboard that I ordered arrived today, and the BIOS version it contains is one of the oldest for this board (703). Therefore I want to update, but am not certain which one to choose, because the two latest versions are marked as betas, and the newest is marked as ONLY being for systems with a certain problem under XP SP 3, as can be seen here:

I'm quite adverse to doing a flash myself, and would opt to order a new BIOS chip already updated, but as things stand, there wouldn't be much to lose if it went badly, except for a few days waiting for a new chip.
I don't like the idea of anything marked beta, but to go to the last stable version means going back a year or two, which doesn't sound good either. Can anyone offer me something more to go on than just an opinion?
