I don't know why they mark it urgent. It's just a fix for a fairly rare
gigabit problem.

P.S. there was a thread when it came out.

Tom:

I hadn't done a BIOS update since I got my XPS410 in December of 2006. So I
did this one and haven't seen any problems so far.

Remember the hard drive problems you were having and the spikes in
performance you were seeing with HD Tune back in 2007 after doing a BIOS
update? I didn't see any of these after doing the 2.5.3 BIOS update. I had
been running with 2.0.1 which is not on the XPS410/9200 previous versiob
BIOS page.

I can reproduce the problem with every bios, including the new one. I
just don't use the 7300LE anymore.

FYI, this is old news. IIRC there was a brief thread on 2.5.3 about a
month ago. <no flame intended>

I didn't know, I was just looking around.
