    Does anyone know if with latest bios an A200 PSAE6 I could upgrade to a T9300?
    Have anyone upgraded the bios (that doesn't show changelog)?
    How does it work the "link" of bios with OS?
    If I install the "vista" bios and then I format and install XP what happens?
    Thx :D

    I have the PSAE6C (close enough?) which I upgraded to a T8300.
    The Vista BIOS won't be optimized for XP so you'll lose a little performance and probably battery life (power saving features and whatnot not available to XP).

    Yes! I think it almost the same!
    So it is possible to use a OS different from which the bios is supposed to go on, right??
    The flash is possible directly from windows right?
    Thx
