There are a number of revisions of that board.
There are seven BIOS flashes available.
Here is what I found:
2700+   V: 1.65v   Multip: 13x    FSB: 333MHz(166)

Athlon XP 2700+(333 MHz FSB)(Model 8)
Supported since PCB revision:  1.04
Needed (min) BIOS:    1001.C

Be VERY careful to check this out yourself. (I can't see your revision
number and did not look to see where to find it on the board).

Disclaimer:
Flashing a MB can result in turning it into a paperweight if you use a
BIOS file that is not correct for it.
