Hi Borislav!

I'm sorry for the late answer.

I have now finally been able to check this, and yes, I'm already using
the latest version of the BIOS, which is Phoenix cME FirstBIOS Desktop
Pro version 5.00 R1.07.2264.A1 (a.k.a. 5.00.1.07, 25.04.2006) for
Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E5600, mainboard D2264-A1, CPU AMD Sempron 3000+.
