I'd like to be up to date on my bios. I saw the thread of the 9860 BIOS - 986bv02c, but I don't want to try and update my BIOS (I've never done it) if I don't need to. PC Torque said my 9860 probably had the most recent BIOS (I got it a week ago). Thanks.

restart your computer and read the black and white text when you first start up...it will be there.....

You may want to depress the pause / break button on the keyboard when the bios info is displayed so that you can read it.
