Dell has bios update for Vista?
I just went to Drivers and Dowloads for my system on Dell's site and changed
my info letting it know I have Vista now and there was a list of new downloads listed for my PC, one which has me puzzled is Dell Dimension System Bios, it is even listed as "Urgent" under Importance. When I click on the file to read it(or any file on the list) I get a "404-File Not Found The requested page could not be found." message but if I click on Download it downloads "DM061-020201exe." Anyone know what's up with this bios update? Definitely not doing anything with it until I know more, hate to screw with my PC with it running so smoothly.. |

It can take as long as a day for the link to work. |

Don't have a clue. I know there is a major problem with compatibility of
the nVidia 7300LE with their SATA drivers -- absolutely kills performance. The last few updates haven't fix it. Hopefully this one will. Tom "Paul" wrote in message ...

Ahh, have to see when the site descriptions are back up, if that's the case
luckly I have the 7600GT and haven't had a problem using nVidia's Vista drivers so if only concerns the 7300le that update would be one to pass on.. "Tom Scales" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately, the only change is to support new processors, so I'm not even
going to install it. "Paul" wrote in message ...
