If it were me, I'm not so sure I'd be keen on upgrading. I think
there are too many 701 owners on this list that did that and ended up
having all sorts of weird, unidentifiable problems. In many cases those
same people found a way to backpedal to a previous BIOS version (I think
"N") and the problems disappeared. Meanwhile, for those of us who never
upgraded beyond "N", we never had those odd problems to begin with...
