Use whatever BIOS utitity your mobo manufacturer supplies, HT probably wont even show up in your current BIOS, only if it is available on the chip. Is there a good reason to do it?

It depends what the update was for, sometimes it is just a fix for something that you don't even have. If you are inexperienced with bios flashing and you are not having any problems it may be a good idea to leave it alone. Not trying to scare you but a bad flash can render your board useless. Check on the manufacturers site and see what the update is for. If the board is brand new I would probably leave it alone unless you are having some problem.
