Why do you want to upgrade your BIOS? If you have no specefic issue with the current BIOS, *DO NOT* upgrade it. A BIOS upgrade will not speed up your system.

ok as u say..but theres an update available from the official site...i got the utility..from microstar and it says u can update the bios..i have not done so..i thought it is better to update the bios..
anyways i am not doin it as i have heard that it can become risky sometimes..

Yes it can be *very* risky! You can loose your motherboard too!
