MSI M-Flash
MSI offers different tools to update your BIOS. Users can either use a DOS Flash tool, in Windows Live Update 3, via internet Live Update Online and in the BIOS the new M-Flash. It is more than a flash utility; it has 4 different new functions:

MSI CPU Specification
There are many different CPU types on the market with sometimes confusing names. In order to achieve the highest overclock, it is important to know the detailed specifications of your CPU. Normally, this requires booting to Windows where a software application will show all CPU details. With MSI Eclipse users can simply select the option CPU Specification in the BIOS, where you find a detailed overview of CPU specifications like CPUID, CPU stepping, CPU clock, L3/L2/L1 cache, Core VID, the number of cores and the supported instruction sets. This function is similar to Memory-Z, but for the CPU.
