I have heard that it is possible to update the BIOS of a graphics card
via flash-ROM, like on a mainboard.  Can anyone tell me if this is true,
and whether this true for any modern graphics card or just a few select
ones.
BTW, I have an Asus AGP V-3000 card, of course I am ESPESHULLY curious
to find out whether it is flashable.
Flash greetings from --- maikel --- in Munich.
