I guess I just wanted to make sure I am doing it right before I attempt a flash.
I set up a USB stick with the 'HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool', made it bootable, and then put the latest BIOS (v 1.17). So, I guess my question is. Is it ok to jump from v1.10 to v1.17?

I chose it because of the 4 x SATA 6Gb/s and the 4 x USB 3.0. I tend to get a little connect happy. So the more options I have the better.
I plan on eventually getting two SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drives and one of the SATA 6 Gb/s will be taken up by the Samsung 830 (SATAIII...same thing right?). I...
I like the IPS monitors because I like to do a small amount of photo editing in Lightroom. Of course, to really get the most out of the IPS panel I would also have to calibrate it. So I can stay satisfied with what I have at the moment.
