You have to make a start-up disk, regular, and make a back-up from the old bios first. But if you look around, there will be easy readme's coming with the flash-utility, so there will not be a problem. Just look for your mainboard, and find the updates from the vendor. (i did these updates many times, and for some machines it realy made a great difference...) good luck in finding the update..;-) - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.
