I haven`t looked deeply in the new A04 bios to see the difference between the previous A03 .4
but the setup utility and the options supposed to be the same with no changes from the A03 or even from A02 .
changes are in other modules not related to setup utility .
the options will be the same and work with the same result but there are many improvements in the other modules .
its better to use the A04 unlocked bios .

ummm...you know this answer is the same as your other one right?..
lol
yes its the same
no changes in menus but changes in other modules .
if you want to knew the real changes in the other modules , just give me few hours to check it again as i`m very busy now .
Thanks Ahmed both me and John are interested in the changes so thanks again and take your time
No changes for DSDT , VBIOS , Power management ....... etc .
some changes in the Embedded controller firmware .
no changes will be noticed .............. the only changes are for fixing some issues in codes is special modules but isn`t related to cpu ........... dell said it fixes 8 beeps error when booting with nvidia gtx2 on DC boot .
sure i can`t knew the changes in these modules as it doesn`t even have a name ............. but all other important modules like setup utility , DSDT , SSDT , Power management , VBIOS are left without any changes .
Okay so basically it is the same changes noted on dell's download site for a04 and anything Dell changed was noted I guess.
Ahmed would you unlock the latest bios again it is Bios A05 gives a fix for those with 6990m that had overheat issues on cold boot. Thanks -Marc W
