Bios update, safe option of two >

Hi, which is safer method in your opinion; floppy bootable or CD bootable? Stupid question maybe, but i only ask as i need to update my board bios to run dual core and have never done bios flash before.

Any advice welcome :cool:

I would say Floppy/CD/USB stick are all good methods of bios update...basically anything bootable is good.

Only method I've heard issue with is bios updates that run from within windows (which some offer).

Just make sure you have the correct bios for your machine
