BIOS updates are necessary most often to support new technology. Otherwise,
unless a defect is found in the BIOS, you are correct that a flash is not
necessary. I am curious as to why the recommnedation was made also. A
computer as new as a Dimension 8300 with a 2.6GHz P-4 should not need a BIOS
flash.
