Where? It is a link to config Inspirion 15. lol...

 

Interesting, no 5870 support yet or mention of a throttling fix.

 

where, all i see is a02

 

It's for the M15x on the US site.

 

its say for M15x

 

http://support.dell.com/support/dow...d=-1&impid=-1&dateid=-1&typeid=-1&formatid=-1

 

It's for M15x only.

 

I clicked on the word Dell on the first post...lol. try it.

 

Bah, be more specific in the thread title. I was hoping for the A03 BIOS that will hopefully fix the DPC Latency/Stutter on the M17x...

 

any takers.....i want to update, but someone says he bricked his system. I'm smart enough to know that I know nothing, which makes me smart enough to know that I'm not a good candidate for guinea pig. Anyone have a successful install yet?

 

Title changed to reflect M15x.

 

wonder if it has an install issue as I get a 404 error when trying to download the file...

 

We all did...we all did. *cries on shoulder*

I wonder if this means the fix for the M17x will be here soon?
