the manufactures website, is there any need to install both in turn or
just the latest one.

Unless you`ve got a good reason to upgrade
(more features etc.), I wouldn`t even bother.

In other words, if it ain`t broke, don`t fix it.

When updating the bios...only use the update that fixes your particular
problem.

If there are no problems...then DO NOT update the bios.

It's possible to totally kill your machine if the flash fails

As others have said, don't update a BIOS unless the update fixes
something you're having problems with. But if you do need to update,
flash only the latest. It will include past fixes as well.

Thank you for your replies, when the time comes, I will only need to
Risk my motherboard once, by then there might be other bios updates
available. I will continue to download them so that I will have the
latest update when it is needed.
