    got my E1505 back in June. Using original BIOS (A04) currently. Any reason to upgrade to the new one (A08)? The laptop is running great right now, just dont wanna miss out on any important updates.. thanks.

    I would update - looks like there's a thermal update for the E1505 and an update if you have the 7300 Go. Other than that its just Core Duo 2 updates.

    Yes, it's usually always a good idea to update the bios, the changes may be minute however, but could end up fixing hardware conflicts and such.

    If it says your system doesn't support it then most likely you downloaded the wrong BIOS for your system.
