Actually, updating the BIOS to the newest version is almost ALWAYS a |
| 29 |
good thing. If the vendor has heard about such problems, they should |
| 30 |
almost always do something to fix it, and apply such fixes to their next |
| 31 |
BIOS update. I have fixed many problems (i'm a computer technician) with |
| 32 |
BIOS updates. Having XP installed makes no difference, except that you |
| 33 |
can (with some MBs) update from within windows. They ALL, however, |
| 34 |
support a BIOS update from a bootable DOS floppy. Hope this helps! |
