But they ARE not the same! If you try to load the update that is there for 32bit... it tells you, wrong one go and use 64bit. So you go back and download 64bit bios... It loads okay... But when it starts running message comes up that says Bios Name file wrong name... not found! and terminates... I will go old Acer support site and try, will let you know results...ok? Thanks!
