    Is it possible to upgrade the BIOS on a Dell Vostro 1500 that is running Windows XP x64 without installing the 32-bit version? I do not need to update the BIOS right now, but I am just wondering for the future. By the way, I would not like any requests to upgrade to Vista x64. I have absolutely no desire to do that because Vista is still a slow resource hog, even in SP1. Besides, XP x64 is working just fine for me.
