You would get BIOS update from Dell and Windows updates from Microsoft.
Why do you want to update the BIOS? If you apply the wrong BIOS
update you can turn the computer into an expensive doorstop!

First, note that this has has nothing to do with Windows XP or with what
operating system you run. The BIOS is a motherboard hardware component.
Second, you BIOS upgrades for a Dell computer from Dell.
Third, what makes you think you need to, or should, get a BIOS upgrade?
Certainly don't do it just because it's X years old and there are upgrades
available. Although a BIOS upgrade normally goes well, it is not without
danger. If something goes wrong while the upgrade is an progress (for
example, a lapse in power) you can be left with no BIOS at all, and an
unbootable computer.
Do a BIOS upgrade if you need to--because you are having a problem that the
new version is known to fix--not just because one is available.

Dell has an update for installation when you are getting ready for XP. Theymoose said:thanks i though that it needed it. dont know if there is a update
don't really tell you much more than that.
I can't thing of any other instance where it is advisable to flash the BIOS
without very good reason.

You're welcome, but why did you think that?
