Now that's something I've so far never been moved to do...


Same caveats as for BIOS updates:

Do you really need to do it?

Follow all instructions exactly;

Use a UPS just in case of that 1-in-million power glitch that happens to
be guaranteed at just the most inopportune time...

Report back the results and if any difference noticed.

And good luck.


:-)

Cheers,
Martin
