Please if anyone has the latest bios for this Laptop I would appreciate a download link. I really want to flash this computer and try the new video card I have for it before I send the card back as DoA. i have a feeling the card is simply not being recognized in the bios. Area 51 M9700i-R1 (M7950).

Nope it didn't work. I used the old card to install the OS then installed the latest bios from Alienware. Then reinstalled the new card thinking just maybe it will work now. I still get no picture but the computer boots up to the desktop cause I can hear the windows sound. I also tried the external monitor and get no picture from it either so it is either a DoA card or the card is simply not compatible. I talked to Alienware tech support as a last resort to get the bios and the guy I talked to said it will work with the 8600, 8700, and he said it should work with the 7600 as well. I sent the card away today so I will try again with the replacement card when it finally arrives and update here.
