Question Replacing bios chips

[Viper=tr=]

A bunch of old timers used to help out people with corrupted bios from bad flashes or corrupted from overclocking.
We used to boot up into windows. Extract the boards chip. Place in a blank chip. Flash any bios needed. Then put back the boards chip with its bios.
Anyone do this anymore with AMD boards where the bios has to be upgraded to take certain CPU's? The blank chips are cheap and easy to take out.

why not just flash the bios the normal way?
