is they upgrade absoluetly necessary? most of the time it's best to leave the bios version alone until it needs to be updated

That's correct. Why do you need to upgrade it? Updates only resolve certain issues and sometimes add new CPU support.

If there is an upgrade for that board, it will be free and downloadable from eMachines. That is not a stock FIC bios, it's customized for eMachines.
