    hey all .. merry christmas :)

    I have no problems with my current bios 208 ..
    is there any benefits to update to 212 ?
    people who did that .. any difference ?

    If yes ..
    what would be the most safe procedure to go for ?
    WinFlash i guess ?

    and should i update to 209 then 210 and eventually 212 ?
    or I just pick 212 ??

    another question please
    what do you prefer
    the ASUS specific GPU driver .. or the ATI generic one ?
    what is the difference any way ?
    i heared the ASUS gives a bit less performance and so as temprature .. right ?

    I'm really happy with this laptop for 4 months :)


    One last question :D .. would you recommend me to buy Samsung S8500 wave mobile fone .. with the Bada OS ? :D

    thanks in advance

    OK. If that is the case, don't upgrade your BIOS. Period.

    Computer forums are full of messages saying "I was updating the BIOS and it asked me to restart and now I only see a black screen, what the hell I am gonna do now? Help plsssss..."

    If it is not broken don't fix it!
