yes I mean the techguys recovery programme? Is it just like the windows recovery programme?

Also what benefits are there to updating the BIOS?

Depends if you ever want to recover it to a factory state i guess, if thats a no then you can delete it and the partition it uses but as its only about 5gb id leave it, personally i bought a bigger hdd and cloned the 80gb onto it, ive never booted from the 80gb that came with it so mine is still factory fresh in that sense.

Think the newer bios increase the amount of ram available to the onboard graphics from 64mb to 224mb
 
ive got the 1.08 bios, confirm it increases vram to 224mb :) if anyone wants it before the link is up and working let me know
 
Can i have a link please mate? Also is this the Advent or the MSI bios?

Oh and also is there a walk through on how to flash it? I've never done it before.

PS: How did you get it if it's not live yet?

found it via forums.msiwind.net there someone posted a link to another site on there that you had to register on to get it, was a bit of a long winded way, unfortunately i dont have a direct link now, ive got the file obviously. I think its been live but the techguysite is screwed?

there was a batch file simply double clicked on that and it flashed the bios, had to leave it on for 10 mins before powering down, it had lost the keyboard as happened with the msi 1.07 bios, then unplug the battery and mains, press the power button for 10s then connect the mains again,

Its advent bios

Just put it on, had no probs.

Got 2 questions about the Bios tho. Should i have the shared memory enabled or disabled, and the same with speedstep. Do you think it's worth having on?

do you mean the system memory? Isnt that the memory built into the board?
 
Just bought one of these for my daughter.

The battery is pretty poor (other than that great little machine) so wondering whether the 4400m and 6600m batteries are worth a look. Do they stick out at all?

Anyone done it and gone any pics they could share?

Cheers
