    While I was looking on Sony eSupport website for the FE590, I noticed that there where 3 driver updates and a BIOS update listed under Updates. I recently did a semi-restore of my entire system (which worked flawlessly because of BlackG35) and was wondering if these updates are also necessary to install. Thanks for any comments. :rolleyes:

    if everything is working flawless, i doubt there is a real
    need to update.

    however, if you run into any problems, sony support
    will probably ask if you use the latest software/drivers,
    as they may contain fixes or performance improvements.

    i myself always update, but that's personal preference
    and should not be seen as a recommendation.
