Does the BIOS Virus Protection & Win XP really help?

I am running Windows XP SP2 on a ASUS P4C800 Deluxe motherboard (Intel 875
Chipset with Award BIOS dated November 2004). My software virus protection
software is Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0.

My question is this: I have have the Boot Sector Virus Protection inside my
motherboard's BIOS turned OFF. Will turning it ON give me any "further"
protection in general? Or might it actually have conflict problems with
Kaspersky and/or Windows XP SP2?

If turning it ON has benefits, what might they be? Will this only help to
protect the boot sector of the hard drive or will it do something else?

Thanks for the advice!

If anyone wants to see the motherboard and its features, its this one.
