From the fact that you say you're building you needn't update the bios at
all unless the newer update offers you something that hardwarewise you need. If this is the case then you may as well update it before you install the OS. Ie: you're building your computer and the mb's current bios only supports a P4 up to 2.4 ghz and the cpu you intend to use is 2.8 ghz. A newer bios will support the mb up to 3.0 ghz. At that point it's reasonable to flash the bios. -- Jan Alter "JAD" wrote in message link.net... when there are problems, misdetected NEWER CPUs, memory capacities stuff like that. wrote in message ...
