are you using this BIOS prism1029?

I'm using BIOS 205 right now, but I don't have time to test it right now.

[nfshp253]

Wow, I'll try it now!

[thaigiang]

Cool, I'm downloading

Don't see no difference at all. Is there any changelog. BTW, after the flash, the laptop could not power up the first time. The 3 LEDs kept flashing, like the motherboard is struggling to start. Maybe it's just a mote thorough POST check, because it restarted automatically and all was well.

awesome, thanks for posting this. I'm going to wait until it's official before 'upgrading'

I like it that ASUS is posting stuff on Megaupload, because that seems like we are made lab rats to test their new releases before they go gold.
