[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 762837, member: 59833"] To me, that is being wise! It is important to understand that most BIOS updates are released to support new hardware that came out after the motherboard left the factory. For example, to support a new CPU or new RAM. If you are not upgrading to those devices, you don't need the update. This is why I said you need to read the update description. When I build a new computer, I update the BIOS. But after that I don't unless (1) it addresses a problems I am having or (2) it addresses a security issue that might affect me. Otherwise, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" [/QUOTE]
