About to update the bios on my acer aspire desktop m3470g and I was wondering if someone could double check I'm downloading the right one and maybe give me some instructions as it is my first time.

Here's the update:http://www.acer.ca/ac/en/CA/content/drivers

Btw I'm doing this cause I'm upgrading my processor

Yes you unzip the dowloaded file to a USB flash drive (like this : http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/c26-B007YX9O9Y-1-l.jpg)
then you reboot your PC and hit ''delete'' until you are in the BIOS, from there you launch the update from the USB flash drive...but read the tutorial i posted before you do anything, back up your BIOS and know that you are taking a risk by doing this operation, if something goes wrong (it usualy don't) you could ruin your motherboard...

click here, download that : http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_P01.A4_A_A.zip?acerid=634660934071949768&Step1=DESKTOP&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%20M3470G&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_4

This is the most up to date bios for your machine.. (2012/02/29)

Now follow these instructions here:

If you have any questions come back and ask, but it should be good provided you follow these steps...good luck.

You are not using Linux aren't you? cause the bios i provided is for windows based system.

NOTE: you don't need a floppy disk to install this from you can use a simple USB flash drive (USB key) to do that
