    There is a new A01 version of the 1500 Bios on Dell's site. You may want to check it out.

    Finally! But just checked out the site:

    Fixes/Enhancements
    ------------------
    1. Update Dell embedded diagnostics ROM image to build 4106.
    2. Support Dell Wireless 400 Wireless USB Mini-card.
    3. Add AC adapter LED function when AC is inserted.
    4. Support newer version of Intel processor.



    Not sure if any of this applies to everyone.

    my 1500 (recv. last monday) has this bios. anyone have any questions? I know there is no external noise from the processor... but still noise if I listen through headphones (ipod earbuds). hopefully another bios update will come out soon to fix that... though that was the first time I plugged headphones in and likely won't be doing it again for a long time.

    I just updated my BIOS. Well, the high pitch noise issue... not so loud as it was before but still there, especially via earphones :(
