    Is there any advantage in using the P78_BIOS_IMV3564_9C.17.00 x64 over the stock bios on the p7805u?

    Has anyone updated the Bios and found any improvements?

    If I remember correctly with larger cached CPU's there was an improvement in fluidity of the desktop. This going for 9c.11.00 or 9c.12.00. I don't think stock users saw any difference.

    For me the fans aren't as annoying (spin up), but that is a P7811FX.
