    Do you guys use the BIOS given by ASUS or downloaded a new/better version?

    I just saw version 205 on asus website and i am planning to install this. Can anyone here teach me how to install this program sucessfully ? THanks

    My G50Vt-X1 came with the 205 bios out of the box. You should probably check which version yours is running before trying to upgrade.

    My G50vt-a2 came with 207..

    the bios on the site I think is just the initial release bios, I wouldn't go reloading it unless you have to... Only if a NEWER one came out, and the VT's dont go any older than 205 and most have 207..

    Plus, Asus is known for always being behind with keeping the support downloads site totally current.....

    If you are using vista push start, type system, and select system information. Under the system summary tab it will show your Bios version and the date. My G50vt-x1 has 205 on it.
