Unfortunately, the motherboard (and the rest of the machine, other than
the hard drive I want to install, of course) is all onsite and up 24/7.  I
guess I'll just have to bring it down to check it.  I was hoping to be
able to go in, upgrade, and walk out, at least knowing beforehand whether
I'd get 8.4 or 15G.  Oh well.

As for flash upgrade?  I've heard too many horror stories, and rely too
much on this machine to even -think- about that.  :-)

Has anyone else actually succeeded in upgrading their flash BIOS?
