is it possible to downgrade BIOS version on my laptop from v1.43 to v1.32?

because i accidentally install the wrong BIOS type of laptop, my laptop is Acer 575G and i update BIOS for Acer 576G.
it successfully installed, but i feel a bit leak on my laptop performance.

Thanks,

    >>> i feel the performance is slightly going down >>>

    How did you determine the performance has gone down? What metrics did you use? Can you give me an example of how the performance has gone down. If you only have a vague feeling and can't quantify it with an example, I still suggest that you not try to revert back to an earlier version. Because there is significant risk of bricking or completely disabling the machine. BIOS upgrades & downgrades should NOT be tried unless there is a specific problem or reason that they address.

    What do you mean by "bit leak" ? The v1.32 appear to be the same for both the e5-575G and E5-576G? Any performance difference is mainly due to fixing a security issue common to both laptops. I suggest that you keep v1.32 and don't try to fix a problem that doesn't seem to exist. Jack E/NJ
