Usually there should be release notes that tell you what has been fixed/added.
& yes sometimes new BIOS do increase performance but in general if you don't know that you have a problem don't bother.

Can we drop the text speak on the forums?
You have a full keyboard in front of you. Use it.

There's no point updating the bios on that board for overclocking as the bus can only be set to 100,133,166 and 200.
