MSI (and most manufacturers) recommends that you DON'T flash your BIOS
unless you have the specific problems addressed in the update. Are you
having problems with your 1394? If not, then don't do the flash. The first
and third items are pretty much cosmetic.

The update mentioned above does not flash the bios it just updates the
Live monitor.
