    Yes, you will need an update to go to the E7600.  I believe the fastest you can go with that BIOS version is the E6600.  Since you are still on OS4.2.x, you can simply install this add-on to do the update: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin .  If you've not already added RAM, you may want to do that as well.  It will make the unit a bit faster, and it better prepares you to go to OS6, if you choose to do so.
