Inspiration 530-WinXP-SP2
The BIOS that came with the machine were 1.0.13
should I download and install 1.0.15 from dell?
I know very little about these machines.
TIA

Read the release notes for the update. If there is something that it
fixes that you need, consider the update. If not, leave it alone. If it
goes wrong flashing the BIOS is one thing that can easily turn your PC
into a doorstop.... Only update if it is absolutely necessary.

Agree. "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." Good folk wisdom, spoken in
