BIOS Flash?

Recommended Posts

When you update your bios with the newest file does that new file incorporate all the older version updates. like say if an older update inproves WinME stabability and new version lets the board support 2100+ XP Chips does the new one also give the WinME Stabability increase?

 

Thanx

I believe that the latest BIOSes encompass all of the previous updates or fixes of the previous BIOS updates, unless the older BIOSes had an addition that was bad.

When you update your BIOS, it doesn't really patch anything - it just replaces the existing bios. So, for example, if you start from version 1.0, upgrade to 1.1, and then upgrade to 1.2, your machine will be in the exact same state as if you had just gone directly to version 1.2. And like Brian said, the manufacturer will usually include all of 1.1's benefits in 1.2, and just fix the problems and/or limitations of the previous versions.
