Anyone try this out yet?

After the last debacle - the BIOS set a power-on password by itself - I'm rather hesitant to upgrade.

However the new version has an intriguing fix:

Version 7NETB4WW (2.14)

* (New) Security function was enhanced.
* (New) Firmware update of Intel AMT ME.
* (Fix) Data transmission speed of CardBus and 1394 device gets slow.

The last fix looks like a very tantalizing reason to upgrade the BIOS...

BIOS v.2.14 for X61(s) available here

Same here. Waited a week, wasn't pulled so installed it no problem.

Yup,

Updated to the new BIOS and I noticed a big increase in transfer speeds using the cardbus and SD card slot now.

Haven't checked the "security functions", not really sure what is meant by that, but I'm really happy with the increased transfer speeds.

I guess I'll take the jump too.
