Default BIOS Version ??
Hi its me again, yeah the super Nube...

I am now putting to gether my new system and have a Gigabyte X38-DQ6. I am trying to decide if I want to flash my Bios or not but 1st I need to know which one I am currently running, along with chipset drivers, audio drivers and all that jazz.

How do I find out all the information about my Mobo and what software, drivers, and bios it is using?

My System Specs

Default
BIOS version is shown during boot. And if Windows is installed CPU-Z shows that too on the second tab. As for driver versions, check out Device Manager and the Driver tab of each hardware.
