[vox-tech] mobo bios upgrades

[Peter Jay Salzman]

a 64-bit mobo i'm eyeing takes PC2700.  just learned of a bios upgrade
that lets the board use PC3200.

since i don't plan on putting MS windows on this machine i'm curious how
you upgrade a bios, since i've never done it before.  do upgrades come
in the form of...

a. bootable disk (like DOS) in which case linux users can use them?

b. a windows EXE, which case you have to install windows (i'm not sure
   i'd use wine for this) to upgrade the bios.

c. both forms have been known to be used.

thx,
pete
