...but what does upgrading BIOS do anyway? I upgraded my BIOS recently and didn't notice much of a difference...
 
They offer new options: Options i know of are larger Partitions / Hardisk size as the standards get higher. Shadowing of memory which arent always included and also options that aren't included on OEM products. I found that with 2 Motherboards that im missing all fancy memory configuration setting, tweaks and other usefull stuff until i Flash bios.
 
Sometimes there are bugs in the original BIOS shipped with your mobo and a BIOS update corrects them.

I would suggest that, at least IMHO, a BIOS update is something one does to correct a specific problem. If there is no problem to correct, then why update??
 
I flashed my BIOS because originally it didn't support an Athlon XP. This is probably the main reason why someone would flash it.
 
Well, I flashed mine because I had heard that newer BIOS = increased reliability and speed.
And it was especially the speed I was after.
