I wouldn't advise upgrading bios unless you had a really really really
good reason to do so. One mistake and you're minus a computer, nor will
warranty cover such damage. Adjusting the bios settings, is one thing
you can recover from. You may wish to consider that. Measure twice, cut
once. I sure wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they really knew
what they are doing. :) Ric
