QUESTION?
I've got to the point where I ran AFLASH and chose the option to save current BIOS to file. When I saved it, it asked me to name the file. I just named in REV1004, and saved it to the disk. Should I have given it some sort of extension? Like REV1004.dat or something like that?

I saved the two updated BIOS revs. from ASUS for my MB. Each one has a note on what problems they intended to fix. Of course neither of these problems have anything do with video capture as such. I'm just wondering if this is worth the while. I think I will do it regardless just to be able to do it in the future if needed.
Oh, will this change all my settings in BIOS?
Any other opinions about updating bios?

Thanks,
RADAR
