Just be careful...  I managed to fry my BIOS while updating it (due to a 
memory stick going bad, thus writing garbage to the flash), a couple 
months ago.  Had I known the recovery procedure when it happened, I might 
have been able to recover it, but due to lack of knowledge, I screwed 
that up too.

I ended up on my netbook, ordering a newly flashed BIOS chip for my main 
machine over the net from California....  Suffice it to say that I now 
know WAYYY more than I ever wanted to know, about recovering from a bad 
BIOS flash.
