I am thinkin about getting a 1.4 ghz/266 FSB Athlon and was wondering whether the Asus A7M266 mobo would support it. Would u just need a BIOS upgrade to enable its support?

Far be it from me to talk you out of a purchase, however the 1.4 Athlon is less than 10% improved on the 1.333 performance (according to Tom), so unless you are coming from something less than 900Mhz I don`t really think a 1.4 will show much gain for your buck!.
However it is your buck so it is your say!.
About the support on a ASUS A7M266, you should have little problem with support and as you suggest a BIOS upgrade is the way to go.
My only qustion would be, "do you have the A7M266, or are you purchasing this too?".
