I found 1.19 but nothing on any 2.0x version except old posts.
Attached it below but use at your own risk !
Be sure to read the included PDF on how to use the file.
Thank you! Downloaded & will strive to keep safe.

The problem is that those old Alienware laptops are from before Dell purchased them and Alienware were really jerks about requiring you to have a login on their site to be able to download anything.
Here is the archive for the 5750/5790. Only the 1.19 BIOS was archived... or I am looking in the wrong place:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://aliendl.a … /Mobile/m5750/*
There was a 5790 1.20 BIOS. The file name was:
m5790_Bios_1.20N.zip
Attached it the Alienware BIOS file from here:

Alienware_BIOS_support_4GB_RAM.zip
Thank you for the link and the BIOS, downloaded!

the 2.06 from the m5550 is being used on the m57xx / fs models for increased ram + nvidia support?
Here's v2.06 if you want to risk it.
m5550_BIOS_2.06w.zip
Thanks! Yes, that's the thread I originally got my information from. I must've gotten confused with the whole m5550/m5750/m5790 thing. It's not exactly the easiest to read thread in the history of the internet... Anyway, this is exactly the BIOS I was most after, awesome.

Thanks, seems to also confirm that the 2.06 should work on my laptop.
I'm in awe of how fast you guys delivered and how much interest this gathered. I'm in your debt. I'll edit the thread title to also include the m5500 to help people also looking for the BIOSes to find their way here.
Sadly the original Geforce on my laptop has died and I'm waiting for a replacement, and I don't have the sticks for more than 2 GB of memory yet either, so I can't really test any of this at the moment... 😀 I'll be back to let you know how it turns out once I start receiving my parts in the mail.
Into the eyes of nature, into the arms of God, into the mouth of indifference, into the eyes of nature...
