Dude, no need to upgrade to official.

There is a thing call custom firmware, custom firmware is like a FW1.50 that emulates a newer firmware.

At the moment there is a 3.40OE-a, this has all the advantages of the newest current firmware but also has the advantages of 1.50 official.

This is the custom firmware, be sure to read the README over a few times before doing anything.

Even though there is no point of offical anymore.

You hit the Network Update on your psp and do it through Wifi.

I'm not sure how stable a offical upgrade would be due to your mobo been patched.

Do it at youre own risk, but seriously Get custom.

Don't upgrade to the official firmware. Follow the instructions for 3.40 OE instead. It gives you everything the Sony firmware has, plus the ability to run homebrew.

Using the official firmware, not only do you lose the option of changing your mind in the future, you also risk bricking.
