Happy with new system...BIOS question

I put my system together on the weekend. Things' purrin like a kitten.

AMD ATHLON 1333 266 FSB
ASUS A7M266
512 MB DDR SDRAM - CRUCIAL
ATI RADEON 64 DDR

So far I don't miss my Intel processor :)

Since the system is working stable right now, is there any advantage to flash my BIOS to v. 1.04 from 1.03?

I've read that you shouldn't fix what isn't broken but I thought I'd ask anyway since there may be a known issue that this corrects and I just haven run into it yet.

My OS is WIN98 SE (soon to be dual booted with WIN2K PRO)

Thanks.

Well I checked the site and all it gives for a description for the new bios is "Lastest release." Given that fact that there are no problems now and the new bios gives no noted solutions, I would leave well enough alone. the Revision 3 that you are running is the only would that gave details as to what it fixed, so I would stay with it until you here otherwise from Asus or a user of that actual board.

Ever take your pc to the dyno. You should expect to see over 400hp.
