Thomas Lenarz: I really strongly advise you to update your BIOS first.
Manufacturers tend to fix things without neccessarily mentioning it in
the changelog. For example, on my HP nx7400, Speedstep didn't work in
Linux until I updated the BIOS to the latest version. The documentation
said nothing about it.

If Asus really offers Windows only updates for a product that shipped with DOS, 
I'd nag them to supply an alternative. Which exact model of the X51 do you 
have? For the X51R, there is a DOS update procedure:
