looks like the video bios was the only thing updated in it. has anyone got the ATI Tray Tools in the Omega Drivers to work with their X1400? mine gives me some error about pulling info from the bios and my board is not supported.

With A03 I was having an issue where if I rebooted the machine and tried to boot from a particular CD (Drive Image 7.0) it would access the disk but never actually load anything. I would have to shutdown completely and then boot with the CD. With A04 I don't have the problem.

The drive is the 6550A.

There are also updated Chipset drives in case no one else noticed. I'm not sure if it helps anything but I'm going to install them in a minute. It was released today FWIW.

Any differencies with these new chipset drivers?

What is up with Dell updating the post date on new files but not actually updating the files? I checked out the "updated" chipset drivers and the file was the same file I've had on my backup drive for weeks.
