Q: Bios for 4600ti

I have a Chaintech 4600ti 128Mb card running at stock speed with
Zalman Hp80A passive cooling.

It is running bios number 4.25.00.27 without any issues except for
some games over the DVI port where the screen blanks out on starting
the game or changing resolution in game (Zeus/Emperor/Space Colony).

I have seen the large number of updated BIOS files at
http://whitebunny.demon.nl/hardware/chipset_nvidia.html and I was
wondering if there is any resource that I can look at which will tell
me the differences between my current BIOS 4.25.00.27 and the most
recent one listed there which is 4.25.00.37 (performance, stability,
features etc).

Thanks in advance.

Bump - since noone has had any thoughs on this yet - any links I can
look at?

Oh, and Chaintech have no card bioses issued since 4.25.00.27.00 -
what are the risks of using the 4.25.00.37 bios (assuming I have taken
a rom backup and actually flashed it properly)? Are they likely to be
limited to the VIVO or TV functions not working (which I don't use).

I just updated mine to 4.25.00.37 with no problem. I was having a DVI
problem when my computer rebooted it would say no signal input on my LCD
monitor until Windows loaded the drivers and it would be ok then. It would
not do it all the time. I could not get into bios when this happened. This
bios fix the problem and have not had any other problem.
