New BIOS for DXP061

Hi
Can Anybody give us any experience following the download of the Dell's latest BIOS?
 
I wonder if after this BIOS one will have to reactivate the VISTA OS with MS?
 
What improvements are to expect with this new BIOS?

What system do you have... Not sure what systems were afected by a BIOS update if i ain't wrong there were Dimension E521 & C521 where on the forums reported those BIOS update created no post on some systems.
I updated to latest BIOS on a E520 (DM061)with no problems
I think you should have a XPS 410...

Check this
 
There were some problems april, as far as now, not sure if the problem was resolved. It will be better to have some one here with the XPS410 and that BIOS already installed.
I Don't want to make your computer crash...
I'll say, let's wait until we have some one who verify no problems...

Keithg,
I didn't noticed that, if there a new one, it should be because it's the fixed one... Depending on what people needs they may get the BIOS update then...

GioAguilar,
That link you posted is the previous BIOS update for the XPS410. The new one posted by ChrisM of Dell is for v2.5.0.
 
 
snow,
I haven't updated my BIOS on my XPS410 because there's nothing in it that I need.

Snowshine:
 
Updated my XPS 410 with the DXP061 update to Bios 2.5.0 without any problems. What it does is to provide support for OCUR or Open Cable Unidirectional Receiver which cable companies will be rolling out over the next several months to customers. This will provide cable card HDTV support to enable individuals to view and record television broadcasts.

I received my new XPS410 this week. I wanted to replace the Ubuntu OS with Mandriva 2007.1 Spring x86_64. The computer shipped with BIOS 2.4.2 and the Mandriva DVD would boot but the keyboard was unresponsive, so I couldn't install. I installed Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit and was not pleased with the implementation of the Nvidia drivers. Happily, Dell released BIOS 2.5.0 which fixed my problem. I successfully installed Mandriva 2007.1 (Spring) Powerpack x86_64. The Mandriva Nvidia packages work very well. I'm a happy camper now....
