    1. Enhance the function of the media eject button more stable in multi-CD/DVD installation.
    2. Update the nVidia video BIOS to 60.86.45.00.40.

    Thank you so much. This should fix the only problem I have experienced with my M1330. When I tried to install a game that was on multiple discs, it took forever to get the eject button to respond when switching discs.

    There was no official release of BIOS A05 - it was just installed on ppl's machines from the factory; therefore, we will never really know what A03-A05 fixed.

    So how important is the video BIOS?

    I have no idea what it does - will it make a performance difference?

    Is it perfectly safe to install this. I haven't updated bios in my previous machines. I currently have A05 bios.

    I always, ALWAYS do bios updates. That is the one thing that I would keep up to date, especially a new system like the 1330.
