IIRC the newer Dell OptiPlex series have a special way for flashing the BIOS. You use a Dell-provided utility to copy the new BIOS image into a special (non-volatile?) memory, then reboot the machine. Once it reboots, it will automatically start to flash. The same technique is used by IBM with most of their Thinkpad models, I don't know whether this still applies to the more recent Lenovo models. Btw: I think Dell also provides flash utilities for Linux (since they ship machines with Ubuntu), but my memory might deceive me ;).
