Although that may be true, it seldom matters. There's no need to even
consider a BIOS update unless you're having a problem, and unless you
know that the update fixes it.

I'm glad you were successful, but not everyone is. BIOS updates are
inherently risky, and should be avoided whenever possible. A sudden
loss of power while it's taking place can ruin the BIOS entirely, as
can accidentally using the improper update file.
