    Hm, is there any changelog about this information? I´m unsure i´ve i should flash my eu z21wn with this version. Maybe there are hardware changes in new models, so this new bios version is for that machines?

    To pardes3:
    are you running a 64-bit OS? Have you noticed any differences? I understand that this BIOS was developed for x64 and x86 OS, because latest Z series are coming out with both. I am using a 64-bit Vista so I am considering upgrading to R3052M3.

    I think you should be okay to update your BIOS, my new Z35X which only arrived yesterday, configured in JP and it has this updated BIOS already installed R3052M3

    it's an EU vaio Z, so your good to go :)
