Gigabyte @BIOS update

[EarthBoy]

so i was going to update the BIOS on my Gigabyte motherboard. i notice gigabyte has this windows BIOS update utility called @BIOS, i was wondering if this is safe or should i update w/ a floppy.

heres the link: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Sup.../HowToReflashBIOS.aspx

i do not trust windows bios update. Did it many times on an Asus then it decided to fail and cause the board to be dead.

You did it many times and it did work though for those many tjmes, right? Anyway you do it, there is a risk.

works fine i used it to flash my gigabyte board and it wen without a hitch. and cmd why would you be doing it many times on one board? unless the board was ancient i dontt hink you could have done it that many times.

Yea, +1 on a K8NSNXP-939 mb. It worked like a charm. Gigabyte's utilities may be better that ASUS's. They are certainly user friendly.
