    It works in the 6224W and I think it should work in the 6625WD.

    If you got a 6124 or 6615 then my guess would be never.

    That is the Core Duo version right?

    Then I dont think there will be any new featuers or bios updates for it. Zepto cant influance the bios much anyway since the barebone manufacturer needs to take care of it.

    wave is correct. In case of the 2425W it's a re-branded EL80 from Compal and we have no influence what so ever about what is or what is not in the BIOS on that machine.

    About you question about the VT feature then i must day that you will probably never see the 2425W being able to use the feature as the EL80 is feature complete as it is, as Compal has left it and has started putting new machines on the market. Any new BIOS updates being put on the web for download will be for fixing features that are already in the machine but needs tweaking or other fixing.
