Hi. Sunday I ordered from Newegg an ATI RadeonHD 3650 to plug into my Gateway 614GE desktop PC (I SOOO want to test with Kubuntu 9.04 BETA !!) but now I'm worrying my 6-year-old PC's motherboard won't boot with it.
Gateway's website quickly led me to an appropriate BIOS update, but it's filed as ".EXE" and I have NO Windows partition on my computer. How would I install this to my motherboard BIOS without Windows? I've never performed a BIOS update on any computer before now.
Now, truth be told, I have *not* received my treasure yet, so I may not actually need the update when my card gets here. But if I *do* need a BIOS upgrade, how would I perform it with Ubuntu 8.04.2 ?
((must... test... new... xorg...drivers!)
