Abit-kt7a-Raid Bios, To update or not to update?

[Demitre]

Would it be wise to update my bios? I have a vague impression of someone saying don't update your bios unless you have problems. Well, I do. My mobo on occassions makes me replug my generic memory.

Did anyone have similar problems remedied by updating the bios? Is it generally safe to update bios? Any adverse side effects that I may meet?

It is generally very safe to update your BIOS as long as you follow the directions and do it properly. I have had need to update the BIOSs on my machines several times and they are running great. The side effect people run into is that they ruin their BIOS and then the mobo is shot. Some of the new mobos have devices for helping if this happens, but if you do things right it shouldn't be a problem.

If you are having problems I would do it, but I dont know if it would fix the problem or not. Use the directions and I think you hafta clear cmos after.
