As far as I know you cant download A03 yet (it has only come preflashed on new systems).
I talked to dell support yesterday and the guy said A03 would be available for download in 3-4 days.. but then right after that he said "ignore what I just said" so either he said something he shouldn't or was incorrect.

But, if someone did somehow mangage to get a copy of the MP061A03.exe bios.. then I would love a copy as well.

Unfortunatly, I have tried many ways to take a backup bios and flash it... but none seem to work (I almost bricked my e1705 that way once... lol).

It seems that the main ways people are using to backup their bioses dont output a file that works correctly with the other utilities that can flash to the dell systems.

Now, if someone has found a way to get it to work... please correct me (and tell me how, lol)

edit... here is the link that shows how to backup your bios so if you are willing to back it up, I would be willing to give it another go (on flashing)... so send me a PM once you back it up and I can give you my email addy to send it to... THANKS!!

Briefly, can someone explain the advantages of A03 over A02?

Thanks!

It fully supports core 2 duo and came out with the release of the inspiron core 2 duo line two weeks ago.

Use Notebook Hardware Control. It's a lot better anyways.
