Probably not without some expense (new chip). If you were lucky, it might leave your existing BIOS intact, rather than drop dead in mid-stream.
BIOS flashes succeed most of the time if done correctly (99%??), but the consequences if they fail are so high that I would not even think about doing it UNLESS I had a solid reason to believe that a successful flash would solve some problem.
Well found this for making a Bootable DOS usb: Bios-boot-usb-stick - Howto: BIOS-Update per bootable USB-Stick - www.biosflash.com
That seems to be the safest way

Hi GianniDPC
This link is to your drivers for the Dell 5000 and the A07 Bios update is there also,
I looked up the manual and the link is here ;
Documentation
By reading the manual it says your D5000 will use a CPU with upto 1mb level 2 cache
where as the 670 you linked to has 2 mb,s of level 2 cache and the 915 chipset
may not support that much cache i would think twice about buying the 670 chip for your
D5000 it may not work for you .
I have the Dell Dimension 8400 and the intel 925ex chipset that will run the 670\671 CPU
@ 3.8 ghz with the A09 Bios and that Bios was written to use the intel 670\671 CPU
If it were me i would not buy the 670 CPU for your D5000 it may not work !!
Of coures that is me !
You could post to the Dell hardware forum and ask there it would not hurt to ask them .
Good Luck

First Dell is so propritary in their older computers, especially the P4 if the bios is not for your tag # it will not work. That cpu your looking at is used for one, to cheap for another, i'd say if it sounds to good to be true it probably is, just a friendly warning.
Well, But I Still want to update my bios in case to be up to date as the BIOS update fixes some other things also. My questions is if I type my service tag it will find no drivers anymore for my dell but If I search for my dell manually I'll find the system with the A07 bios. Does the service tag matter or not ?? I also don't think that dell makes a BIOS for all service tags right ? I think they make just one for all dell 5000's ?
CPU-World.com forums :: View topic - Dell Dimension 5000 Processor upgrade Well I found this he says that it works but does he has the same chipset as I have ?
(I think so 915G)
If your service tag # doesn't show any results for a new bios then their are none for your computer. If you use one for a different model you will probably hose your comp for good. If you want to take that chance be forwarned.
Hi GianniDPC
This is the link Drivers and Downloads | Dell [United States]
to the newest A07 Bios For the Dell Dimension 5000 your service tag has nothing to do with the Bios,
The D5000A07.exe is for all of the Dell Dimension 5000 motherboards , Dell does not make a Bios for each service tag !
This is the fixes & Enhancements
The following changes have been made to BIOS rev A06 to create A07:
1. Add support for newer processors
2. Add help text during password change
3. Improve boot sequence for CD ROMs
4. Removed dialog pop-ups from flash program when -NoPause is used
5. Improve S3 resume timing
Good Luck
EDIT
For more info
This link is to Intel for the CPU,s that the Intel 915 can work with .
http://ark.intel.com/products/chipsets/5341 it does Look like the 670 chip will work for your D5000 !
After reading about this i have changed my mind i would get the Intel 670 and try it its
up to you !
