well, yes buddy (all other ppl are also right abt suggesting u on this..)
with the BIOS update a.k.a EVGA BIOS Flash, ur old BIO will be updated with alot more new features (mainly h/ware compatibility upgrades)..
so watever is written on the Evga Site abt its BIOS flashes a.k.a updates are all stable adn works really gr8 w'out giving u a scare or a heart attack for ur mobo..lol.. believe me..
i did a BIOS flash (update) and then my Win XP PRO+SP3 )32bit) OS began recognising 3 GB of RAM (wich previoously was detecting only 2 gb)... so on 64bit OSes there will be really more h/ware compatilibity upgrades as well..
