Just my luck, I just sold my Q9450 after it didn't work with A05.... Can someone test to see if the new firmware supports the Yorkfield chips???
Thanks!

If it supports the new procs, DELL might have just added a bit more life to the 720s.... It's the least they can do for the customers who have forked over a few dollars for a higher end machine.

This (A06) has got to be Yorkfield support, just as A06 was Wolfdale
