    Hello Guys , I read some topics on this issue and never saw can udpate-vbios-a of 4870 ? ..

    According to the instructions of BATBOY did the following:

    -I put these drivers i-ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870 Driver
    v8.763-100810a-104118C-Dell

    -Update - Hydra vision and xcode

    But i saw vbios update only for 5870 model

    So , its not possible to update mine 4870 or ?

    My other problem is still looking for solution:

    my - CPU USAGE jumps dramatically when opening chrome and 40 pages long with 100% for a long, generally keep it pretty high percentage.
    I have a Sony Vaio VPC and a weaker 520 processor - 2.2 ghz and 3 times more pages open hold max 50%, the very little time.
