Are there any possible undesirable effects of a BIOS upgrade? The worst I can think of is something that would change my SATA drives from being mapped as SCSI to being mapped as IDE.

Does the board have a back up bios? If the upgrade fails (worst scenario) then it could leave your machine unusable. Make sure you have the correct bios file
Yes, it does. I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it. With that, I can always retrace and reconsider.

yep its handy having a second bios chip. I always kept my fingers crossed when updating my bios's. Did you have a look at http://www.cognitive-dissonance.org/wiki/view/Firmware+Updates I have only done bios updates with a d.o.s boot disk in the past.
