    Anyone got a list so far of what updates have come out for the G50 and what they do? ASUS website is horrid for this, so far I've seen the following:


    Bios = 205

    POWER4 GEAR eXtreme Utility = V1.0.0019

    ASUS ExpressGate utility = Version V0.7.3.2

    SmartLogon utility = V1.0.0005

    Virtual Camera Utility = V1.00.0011

    In a nutshell, nothing. :) Sometimes, it updates the BIOS.

    I recommend doing manual updates, instead.
