Flashing eMachines BIOS

[evilmonkey]

i just got an emachines t6000 from work, socket754 etc. it has an MSI-K8TM ISLR motherboard. i looked up the board on MSI's site and got the newest bios. the only difference between the official MSI board and this emachines is that the emachines does not have any SATA connections. it has the spot for them, but just none there. i am wondering if there is any real danger in flashing it with the MSI bios?

You should e-mail MSI support and ask them. Or e-machines support. I think you are taking a risk by doing it. Usually the boards used by oem's are different.
