Anyway, flashing your BIOS is fairly easy these days. Usually your MOBO comes with a set of PC tools. My ASUS does. One of these utilities is a BIOS flashing program which backups your current BIOS and then downloads the correct one for your MOBO. It will then flash it for you upon shutdown/restart.

That said, unless you are specifically experiencing trouble that is attributed to your BIOS being dated, don't do it.
My mobo is a 2004 GT Edition. (see sig) It came with a cd and a manual. Strolling thru the manual I didn't see any reference to "flashing the bios.

Any thoughts on this. Oh btw the reason for this is I upgraded cpu, 2 gigs of ram and vid card.
