EX58 UDR3 2.0 - Any real benefits of version FE BIOS over FD
« on: January 17, 2011, 04:41:37 am »
I have BIOS version FD running OK (apart from a 'double' start from cold sometimes).  Does anyone have more details or experiences of using the FE BIOS

I am afraid BIOS update details are always sketchy at best even though we have asked for them to give a better description many times.

I would say try the new BIOS and if it doesn't do what you want you can always flash back to the version you are using now. Use the QFlash utility though and not @BIOS. Disable Keep DMI Data at the QFlash homepage.
