    No clues, there are no details regarding the changes, i guess it's minor, or they want to hide the changes :)

    Mayabe an alienware rep will answer this ? We want to know :)))))))))


    A good idea for Alienware : They should organise a worldwide events for Alienware's BIOS update, like apple do for their devices :)


    This new R05 is a revolution, let's come all drink wine for this release :p

    ^^^ You are funny! Interesting to notice that we do not get that annoying notice of 'popup message' for switching the GPU...

    Installed the new Bios and see no problems, then I have no clue what it changed if anything I would notice. But didn't hurt...much. :mask:

    Hmm, weird. They did not mention what has changed? Must not be important enough to upgrade then.

    Now you make me blush... You didn't have to do that! I could say the same about you, always being on this forum and did miracle for many of us, though you didn't have too. I am very impressed about the Dell / Alienware team since 2009 (though some people have ups and downs), because always tried their best to help their customers and not just wash their hands... +1 Rep back for being who you are for all of us here and some other forums known to some of us (It seams that I have to spread some rep around before I can rep you, but I already added you to the top of my list, never forgotten) :)
