    Hey guys,

    Recently bought my m57RU. Where could I get the latest BIOS? I've done a lot of looking around and am just confused...
    Also, is it possible to OC from the BIOS?
    And I'm running XP Pro SP2 x64. I'm finding that most of the XP drivers won't install due to them being x86. So, I've had to use Vista drivers. Will, this lead to anything catastrophic?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply :p

    BIOS 1.00.12 (I heard 1.00.17 is out)
    VBIOS 62.92.23.00.14

    Oh and just a side note, I have the 8800M GTX GPU

    This is the latest, last I checked. I will send an email to Sager again and confirm / acquire the currently latest BIOS. :)

    Thanks again. I e-mailed Eurocomwhatever the name of that other company is asking for the latest BIOS. We'll see where that goes.

    Are there any BIOS I can use that are unlocked?
    Also, where would I find drivers for x64 WinXP?
    As it is, I can't use the fingerprint reader, webcam and theres a handful of 'Unknown' drivers.
