Alienware 18 BIOS Questions X21

Guys,

I have a Alienware 18, i7 windows 7, 16 RAM etc. 

My BIOS shows up as X21.  When I go to the download site to update the chip-set (completed) and the BIOS, it only shows up AW18A05.  When I go to install it the installer states

"Dell does not recommend that you flash your BIOS to a previous version."

even though the new BIOS is from this month, and the current one is from Mar 2013

So here is the question, 1. What is the most current BIOS for the Alienware 18 here is the info for it below from msinfo32
