My philosophy is that if it is not broken, don't fix it. There can be some dangers in updating the BIOS, so if the computer works to your satisfaction, then use it and don't update what you don't need.
There is a definite % chance (statistically several %) that a BIOS flash will go wrong and possibly result in an uneconomical repair to the motherboard.
A BIOS flash is only done to correct a fault that has been identified with specific hardware and is well documented by the motherboard maker.
As above, if you have no fault to fix there is zero need to reflash.
http://how stuff works is my Bios upgrade site as there's a on line scan,Wizard & redirection to necessary upgrades.But as stated the newest mobos should supportnewest RAM & disk sizes/types so shouldn't be necessary.'Flashing' the Bios is counterproductive and 9/10 times leads to real problems.Interesting reading @http://www.badflash.com/
