I just use the updates provided by the manufacturer. Why do you want/need to update your BIOS?
Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Normally you shouldn't mess with the bios unless you have identified a problem requiring it.

Yes, do not do a bios upgrade unless you have a problem and are 'positive' that the bios upgrade will fix it.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

Most of the BIOS upgrates came with the Y2K panic. If you have a pre-2000 MOBO I would suggest it is time to invest in a newer system. You are in the stoneages.
Summary: I was wondering the best way to get a bios upgrade. I want to just download one and put it on a floppy but the problem is that I have never done this before. could someone please help me. thanks ...
