You have an excellent board with excellent support, I suggest you take
advantage of it.  Go to Intel's website, search for D865GBF, download the
BIOS updates and specification updates (make TRIPLE sure to read these, the
one for my D875PBZ had little gems like "Use of a >3GHz processor *without*
an omnidirectional cooler will cause the voltage regulator to overheat, and
damage the board" and some reversed pinouts in the audio header
connector...).

That's the BIOS number. Of interest to you are the three last characters
(P16), which is the BIOS release number.  The four-digit number before that
(0060) is the build number.
