    It doesn't even load on my system. It says there is an incompatibility with Windows 64 bit systems. Ha!

    I had the same issue, just goto the dell folder where it extracted and run the bios updater from there. It will work just fine, I'm running A04 now. Thx to the OP for the find too :)

    Run the app named Win_M11xR2A04.exe. So far so good.

    I think I'm still on bios A02. Can anyone please tell me what difference updating the bios makes? Is it worth it?

    I am still at the uinversity at the moment.
    I'll try to test it out and I really hope that they fixed the problem A03 had !

    EDIT: Actually I don't think there will be much of difference...
