what board and chipset you got. If you go to there site they would have specific instuctions on yours. Be careful though.

yes, you need to go to your computer company website and search the support area for YOUR EXACT model. i'ts like i can't use a gateway BIOS on a dell.

here's another question to go along with this.

how do you update your BIOS if you don't have a floppy?

As said if you dont have a problem dont mess with BIOS updates as if they go wrong you cuold find yourself PC-less until you purchase a new BIOS chip (Worst case scenario there!)

I have only ever flashed BIOS when I really needed too.  Done it 5 or 6 times now and so far have had no problems.  As everyone has said Ensure you flash with the correct BIOS though.
AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB
MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset
1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2
XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200
