    I was wondering if there is a BIOS update for my SZ160 since Vista was released. I don't see one on the SonyStyle page but I think remember reading somewhere there was one. I'm using version R0073N0 which I updated to in April 06.

    Thanks for the link, TinyRK. I've just upgraded my SZ150 to the SZ3 bios so now I should be able to upgrade my CPU to a core 2 duo without any problems.

    Thanks, I installed the new BIOS with no issues. I'm not sure what it is supposed to fix, improve though.

    Hi, which did you update it to? R0094N0 (like bogart) or R0092N0?
