Administrator Tarun Posted January 16, 2006 Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2006 Generally they say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." So, unless your BIOS is giving you issues, there's no need to update it. You wouldn't see any changes speedwise anyways. :shocking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only good thing is, is whenever I do something like that, i seem to learn a whole lot in a short period of time (because i frantically am trying to get the thing working again).

SenutyEnool Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." G'day, I also have to agree with this, haven't upgraded my BIOS for 4 years now. However I was going to last year as I ran Sandra across my system just to see what could be 'fixed' and a BIOS update was recommended. Went online to get the update, and 'lo and behold', the armpits wanted my Credit Card details, ie; 'You want it, you pay for it'. Oh, I'm using Award as the BIOS in case you're wondering. So I went with the above quote and gave it a miss. Cheers :shocking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
