    I just realized that one of my 1400's is BIOS A01 and the other is A00....

    This seems odd as that means there is already a BIOS revision for it? I am wondeirng if the A01 BIOS has anything to do with the difference in heat and OC performance...

    I only see A00 on Dells site... maybe it's worth taking a dump of it before I send it back if there is an easy way to do so.

    Anyone else have A01?

    IMO, I think the revisions are for the support of new Intel chips and possibly 800 bus usage?

    Best,

    The A01 came as a replacement for my original one, shipped Sept 1.

    Wouldn't both my 1400s have the same intel chips running 800mhz?
