    Is it worth it? I read what Dell said it fixes, but often times what companies say updates fix, and what they actually fix, is vastly different becuase they are embarressed to say what they over looked :)

    so bottom line, is it worth the time to update?

    I tried it and it seemed to make the fan stay on for a lot longer at higher speeds, even when the CPU etc were cool, so I downgraded back to A05.
