I would have to say that with an up to date BIOS on a modern, full-featured system,
the original article would not be so overly optimistic after all. However, if you
or your limited budget made the choice to buy a "budget" grade system, doing so has
its built-in tribulations. Older and minimum-feature set systems do require DOS
for flashing the BIOS, if indeed a BIOS flash is actually required.
I've got a system here with a three year old system board in it that includes both
an online Flash upgrade (within the OS) and also a Windows level access to a second
Flash procedure, if the online procedure doesn't work out. I've had a newer, less
expensive system that I built here for a relative that didn't start out able to do
the flash "live", but did acquire it from flashing it the crude, old DOS level way.
