T61p and Lenovo KB Hotfixes

Hello All,

I have noticed some hotfixes that came out for my T61p 6459-cto running vista ultimate 32 bit. I was just wondering if any of the KB hotfixes were worth the download. Also is the new bios worth the upgrade or don't bother?

The hotfixes I am talking about are
Windows Vista update modules (KB937500) - Notebooks
Windows Vista update modules (KB929637) - Notebooks
Windows Vista update modules (KB929191) - Notebooks
Windows Vista update modules (KB930979) - Notebooks

 

i suggest you read the update details before making a decision. BIOS upgrade should be done. you might witness system slowdown after the BIOS update, but with 1 or 2 system restarts, everything comes back to normal. i did bios update 2 times

 

I agree with vi3tscorpian about the BIOS updates. I usually do the BIOS updates right away, and it takes a couple of boots before everything is back to normal speed wise.

 

In case you missed it, if you intend to proceed with the BIOS upgrade to version 1.26-1.06 (the latest one), the Windows Vista update modules (KB937500) needs to be installed first.
