Was looking for new drivers today for the E1505 and happened to see BIOS A07 out now with today's date, for anyone interested. Also, it seems the X1300/X1400 ATI driver is up with a listing date of 7/13, but the only thing it lists under fixes and enhancements is a "Fixed Component out issue". Nothing to indicate that R128573.EXE is based on an updated Catalyst driver thus far, though.

Thanks! wow Dell releasing 3 bios update in one month. There must be something wrong with the previous ones.

Yunno what's bothering me - since A03 that came with my 6400 I have set 'Video expansion' to OFF yet everytime it resorts back to ON .. small and trivial I know but it is a setting and the BIOS should at least function?! I wonder what A07 is all about? Will this one acutally remember things like this!?

I'm guessing that they're fine-tuning it for Merom. They know that if they release a new BIOS, quite a few people on forums around the world will test it with a Merom chip. The result is more happy people (who get to use a new BIOS) and more information about possible problems for Dell.
