    Yup. I'm not even going to bother trying it. As long as Dell still considers turning the fan off a good thing, I'm staying at A35.

    Dell just posted it on their FTP site today. It will probably take a few days to show up on the web site.

    "Update the micro-code of Mobile Intel Pentium 4(Northwood)"

    What's Northwood? I've a 3.2g 5150 HT bought on Dec 2003. Is that a Northwood CPU? Thanks.
