    Did a search for this, but not found a good answer... if there's a relevant thread please let me know. This isn't totally specific to a model.

    Dell have just posted a new BIOS (A07) for the 640m/E1405. Mine came with A05, and they suggest that A07 is "optional".

    However, how do I find out what they actually changed? When updating bios on my desktop machine then Abit publish a brief list of what the actual changes in the BIOS are so I know whether or not it's worth updating for my usage of the machine.

    Do Dell not publish similar information as I was unable to find it on Dell's site?

    Hey, not a problem. I usually blame it on a lack of coffee or sleep.
