Re: BIOS UPdate

You need to visit the webste of the vendor who made your board. Diff vendors have diff BIOS flash files, so you cant use a generic BIOS upgrade to flash your BIOS.

FYI, I suggest you flash the BIOS only if your system is facing some problems which are known to have been fixed by the BIOS upgrade. If you're not facing any problems, its best to leave the BIOS alone, because any mistake while flashing could render your board useless.

Re: BIOS UPdate

on a machine that old it probably DOES need the flash to let it have over x amount of ram/hdd space
