OK, delete this foto
It's Winbond 25x40xxSIG. So 4Mb only...

Edit Reason: erpster9e's information
)
Adding microcode don't add supporting for new CPU. Updating AGESA is needed also. But it's not simple task.
This is my search results for M2N68-LA BIOS Code: Narra-GL8E AM2 4xddr2 sp37190.exe 5.13 AGESA 2.8.11.0 512KB Award

Is there anyway to make this bios found here -> https://www.bios-mods.com/reviews/unlock...ail-bbios/ work for this board? The hardware specs are the same and bios sizes match. Try flashing this but awdflash says the part number does not match.or can you please extract the AGESA code from this bios and inject to the 5.14 official hp bios?Thank you!!!

Try using AWDFLASH for ASUS v1.32 from the AWDFLASH132.zip file instead of the AWDFLASH versions provided by the Bios-mods web site. I had far better success in flashing modded Award BIOSes on an M2N68-LA Narra2 board with the ASUS based awdflash tool (and may possibly work with Narra1, Narra3, Narra5 & Ivy based M2N68-LA boards). Do NOT use AWDFLASH with Narra6 boards because Narra6 uses AMI BIOS chips, not Award BIOS chips. Edit: I almost forgot to mention: AWDFLASH for ASUS 1.32 is a pure DOS based tool so it requires FreeDOS or MS-DOS; need to create a bootable USB Flash drive or bootable win9x/dos floppy disk with both the ASUS based AWDFLASH 1.32 tool and the BIOS file either in ROM or BIN format stored on the bootable media.

The search results is not quite accurate. the sp37190.exe package is for Narra & Narra2 boards only, NOT for Narra3. Someone in these forums did attempt to flash a 513.rom file from the sp37190 file package onto a Narra3 board and ended up killing the Narra3 board and the HP computer would never boot - no POST after that flash update. Avoid using the v5.13 bios file from sp37190 for those using Narra3 or higher boards.
