    Sorry if this seems like an old question but I've been on vacation since June 30th and I didn't have access to internet where I was. So whats new with the new bios Dell released for the E1405 on July 2nd?

    I haven't noticed any difference yet. Anyone who hasn't already flashed to A03 might just want to wait until their next reformat to do so.

    EDIT: There's also a thread here. According to howardpm it provides "Added support for new Intel processors," although I don't see where it says that on the Dell site.

    Yeah I caught that thread a few minutes after I posted and I would have closed this but he hadn't gotten any replies so I thought I may be able to.

    The new intel processors, maybe Merom? Or probably the T2050 and the other one dell now has on it. And it seems like Dell has turned upside down since I left. Nvidia GPU offered in the E1505, new processors, higher prices (I think).

    Of all the weeks to go on vacation...

    Thanks for the post! I downloaded it, but may not be installing. Not sure anything worthwhile was changed. :D
