I have no CPU wine and people say revision A06 gives shorter batt life. I'm going to stick with A05.

I have A06 - and still have a whine - but maybe it is not as bad as before.

So, today I updated my BIOS to the A06. I'll update here if I notice any real issues.

*Update*
So this weekend I desided to upgrade my bios to A06. First thing that happend after a reboot it took a long time to load to the login screen. I figured this was normal after a bios update. Rebooted and it was back to the normal ~30 sec boot. During shut down again my comp BSOD. Getting a little frustrated with this bios update at this point. So I reboot, it has taken the extra long boot time again, figured this was due to the BSOD. rebooted and everything seems fine again. After 1 more reboot my boot up and shut down times have more then doubled now, with every boot.

Is there any links to the A05 firmware? I would like to try this one out before going back to A02.

Yeah would anyone be able to upload the A05 BIOS? I may decide to rollback to A05 since I'm on A06 now.
