BIOS Updates forum

Yes, 7513005 is the one. If that is not an improvement, then we both will not gain. Are you saying that that usb update is included in sp1? I thought it was unique to gtwy.
Anyway, my extra pci usb card has 4 slots and they seem to work well. Cost < $10. By the way, I am not going to update the bios.
