I'm posting an update on this necro thread with the hope it will help people in a similar position to me. I googled in here looking for info on this ancient computer. Please note I have no expertise in anything to do with this subject, this is just my interpretation on what I've read.
Basically, I got really excited about the possibility of running a Phenom 1 or 2 when using this bios. The official announcements say you can but there are posts saying people have tried it and failed. Only 1 poster ever reported it working. Since then I've spent 2 days looking for confirmation either way. Unfortunately I eventually found this post by 'TheWiz' (Admin/bios expert guy) tucked away in yet another thread-

RE: HP MCP61PM-HM (Nettle3) 5.17 With Unlocked Overclocking Options
TangoWhiskey is the only person I can remember who got the Phenom I working on the E380 but I never quite figured out how he did it when the same BIOS on the HP version didn't fire up the Phenoms.
Looks like a 'no' then. It's a shame but I'm still in awe of what these guys achieve. Hope this saves someone some time.
I'll get back to playing with obsolete hardware.
