    My laptop ( 6625WD ) is a few months old now and was looking at the new BIOS
    downloads avaiable from the website.

    Which is the BIOS or more stable BIOS to run please?

    I was reading a few weeks back people have had overheating problems with some versions of BIOS. What does this effect and how would I know if I'm over heating my system.

    It does get hot when running Games like BIOSHOCK over xmas break

    Many Thanks

    Im using 008, I figured its better than 004 and 011, and it runs coolest of em all too (my T7100: gaming at 69C max on 008, 011 was 80C)

    I had 169.28, I just switched to 167.49 to see if there's any difference. Higher ver. number doesn't mean better performance :)
    And I had AA issues with 169.28
