    I'm using the stock BIOS that came from the 7805. I think it's 9C.010.00. I hear it's up to .12 now?

    Is there any reason to upgrade and what are the benefits? I usually wont change stuff cause if it ain't broke why fix it. With a laptop I wasn't sure if I should chase new drivers and BIOS's etc. to make it run better.

    Thanks!

    You should be fine with the BIOS you have. Drivers though, you should update. Especially chipset and video. :)
