I didn't find my specific MB listed and wanted to check and see if it's ok to use flashrom with this one.

Thanks
I can't tell from the website/specs alone. Please provide at least a verbose log of a probing run of flashrom (just flashrom -V). This is very safe to do and will just look for supported hardware. We won't know for sure if your board will work with the verbose log either (but may be able to infer that it surely can not work), you will have to try. Usually if it fails there is just a write protection of the complete flash chip which we have to disable. Failures that brick the board should not happen with newer versions of flashrom (unless you really force it to). Please always use at least the latest stable release (0.9.4 at the moment).
