Clevo BIOS Thread

It doesn't matter. It should work even for older MB revisions, just that it won't affect your Arrandale support.

Yeah, that was my thought as well. But you said through PM that it WON'T work with the initial release?

[Blacky]

Oh, now I understand. I think you need at least BIOS 08 for your notebook to recognize the 5870.
If you bought your laptop after Feb. 2010 it should support the ATI without an issue.

Ok. All I know is the motherboard in question is rev4, does that ring a bell?

[Diablo]

with the .12 bios for the 870cu, is there an EC file update as well, or it it just a bios update?

Sorry Kevin I don't know.

It's just a BIOS update, if you want to update the EC you need to download a previous release that has the latest EC.
