    i m a new owner of a D901c, my bios is 1.00.19, and i wonder how update it.
    I need help about this, should i use usb key, or burn a cd to boot with, i really dont know about this D901. Can i update bios one after one, in the right order (1.00.18 and 1.00.19 and after 1.00.20 for example) ? Or i can flash 1.00.19 directly to 1.00.22 for example ?
    Need help thanks

    I suggest using a usb stick (guide linked in my sig) and you can go directly from any version to any version.

    The current version is 1.00.20, and the only listed change (from .19) is Q9550 support

    well here is the .20 bios. Knock yourself out :)

    Also, if you want it, here is the current (.12) KBC/EC firmware

    I'd suggest flashing the KBC/EC first if you have an older version

    thank you so much for these quick replies !! Amazing !

    so another question about your reply : how i can know what version is installed about keyboard bios (.12) ?

    Sorry i m french so i want to be sure, i m afraid t be "lost in translation" ;) : i can flash for example to 1.0016 to 1.0019 directly, without follow the order of the update is it right ?

    Is there is most risk flashing D901c than a desktop ?
    Thanks again

    excellent :)

    Notice any differences? (as now it 'officially' supports your processor)
