47272 2002-05-05 10:47:00 Really depends on how good the power supplied to the computer is.

The flash process is simple and reasonably quick. Make sure you follow the instructons on flashing and always make a backup of your old bios in case the new update has problems.

Why did the '1' have to be the most expensive one.

My advice: Only if you can afford the loss of the board, definitely not for the fainthearted.
