    Are you referring to this post by IKAS V?

    Consider the source... given the fact he didn't provide a link.

    It could be an update to include support for Quad Core since it seems from at least one poster that their Quad (ES) will not play nice in their G51 with current BIOS.

    As we know that Quad equipped G51s are on the horizon it is not to much of a stretch to think that maybe an updated BIOS with Quad Core support will be inside.

    Which poster?

    The general consensus is that quads work as-is.

    Edit: Never mind, I saw the thread.

    yeah that could be. the only BIOS they have on their website right now is for an updated 3dMark06 file to run correctly.

    Quads should run as is.. but im not worried either way cuz i'd rather stick with C2D anyways.

    thanks
