magic bios 4pda2+

I've used this utility 5-6 times. Frankly compared to the "old Fashion
way" it beats it hands down. I've never had any problems using any of
the windows flash utilities.

Also, about the updates. Unless they post a newer version of the bios
than the one you have, you won't see updates. Watch the forums for the
Latest version threads if you have to get the latest version. If you are
loading Betas though, Use the DOS method.

FWIW I just upgraded my system from a 4PEA+ board to the 4PDA2+,
w/ the June (20?) 2003 BIOS. Is there anything in a later release that is a
necessity? I've only had it set up since Friday so haven't had a chance to
do any tweaking or fine tuning.
