Hello all , well my GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L is on the way and after searching thier website thier are a lot of updates. Question is do I need to do each one or will last update carry all the others in it as well?

For instance , looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade it to use my new E8400 but also thier are seperate updates for OC'ing and such.

Thanks!

The latest BIOS should contain all the previous updates as well, so just getting the latest one will be fine.

I know abit has a automatic bios updater which is a piece of software that SAFELY updates the bios in windows. "cant say that for anything else" You should check if gigabyte has some software like that. BTW its safe if the manufacure made it, not a 3rd party software.

Gigabyte has a reasonably good utility that I've used before called @BIOS. Never used it on my own rig, but I've used it on a few other people's, and it worked just fine.
