thanks guys, looks like I'll hold off on upgrading my BIOS. dont really
have any problems, so Im gonna keep well enuff alone!
anyone out there done a BIOS flash?.... was it a good or bad thing?

like I said before, I just dont want that sick feeling in my stomach
when I turn my comp on and I get either all black, or the infamous blue
screen of death............so for now, my Dell XPS will stay w it's
present BIOS... :)

thx for the tips guys
