At least I found the my area of interest at last.
XPS 630i Black Chassis
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
3GB DDR2 at 800MHz
Finally found it.
Chris,
At least one member of www.my630i.com has reported receiving a system with BIOS version 1.09, looking on the support page it still only shows version 1.08.
Any chance of finding out when the support site will be updated and if possible what changes there are in the new version.
Thanks in advance.

Apologies, they never give us the correct release dates. I can tell you what 1.0.9 did -
* Enhanced NVPerformance
* Report Memory is changed during POST and in DMI event log if memory is changed
gjtsegill,
You'll find the major computer companies (Dell, HP, Gateway, HP, Acer, Apple) all have similar clauses in their warranty documentation stating that new or refurbished parts may be used for warranty repairs. Even for Vostro or XPS 630 systems.

Thanks for the info. We'll just have to wait until it appears on the download page.
FYI: New BIOS 1.0.12 is now available for the XPS 630i on the Drivers & Downloads page. I just made the update successfuly... have no idea what it changed. The update page just says "improved stability."

This is what 1.0.9 did. What did .10 .11 and .12 do Chris? Thanks.

if someone gives an answer to a question and i do not visit this forum for a few days and many more questions are asked and then some gives an answer is the answer posted at the end of the list???? to suggest an answer does nothing but delete the (suggest an answer) words. should the suggest an answer post an answer in the same post as it is clicked in thus keeping it with the question if so then if i am away from my computer for a few days will i have to go through the many pages to find it again?
