Adrian's Rojak Pot have thrown up revision 2 of their Hot Flashing guide!
You are all familiar with term 'flashing the BIOS', right? I'm pretty sure you have all done it at least once or twice. But for those unfamiliar with the term, here is a short explanation of the concept. All current motherboards come with Flash ROM BIOS chips which are used to store the BIOS software. Flash ROM technology allows the writing as well as reading of BIOS software by the motherboard. This is useful because it allows the BIOS software to be easily updated.
All you need to do is download a new BIOS image from the manufacturer's website and 'flash' the image into the Flash ROM using a flash utility. And voila! Your motherboard has a new BIOS! Of course, you can also revert to an older version of your motherboard's BIOS.
This act of writing BIOS software to the BIOS chip is known as 'flashing the BIOS' and the software tool used is known as a BIOS flash utility. But what is hot flashing?
