generally its best to leave the computer if its worklin fine. "if it aint broke dont fix it" kind of approach. Only look to updating the bios if you have probs like high capacity hard drives not detecting and the such. But if the comps fine its prob best to leave it alone then.

I basically agree with the first answer. When something won't/doesn't work, then it becomes necessary. I've had to do it when it wouldn't see a HUGE hard drive. I've had to do it to support removable devices bigger than a floppy. Sometimes they throw in some tweaks to make the bios work better with Windows - overall, do it only when you are having problems and can't figure out any other possible solution.
