I have Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3 motherboard (B2 chipset stepping).

I want to try Gigabyte TouchBIOS, but there's an update only for GA-P67A-UD3-B3 motherboard. However I'm not sure that there's so much difference between these motherboards.

So, can I use a BIOS for GA-P67A-UD3-B3 on GA-P67A-UD3? Did anyone try that? Is there any thing that makes these motherboards' BIOSes incompatible?

You can simply try to apply the BIOS update.

There is a very likely chance it will do some kind of a check to see if it can be installed on your hardware, and prevent you from applying it if it clearly isn't compatible.

If for some reason it did not perform the check, your Motherboard will have a hardware based way to restore a factory default BIOS version, either via a jumper or a physical button.
