Thanks JarHead, I went for the plunge & indeed the new flash seems fine. I'm using Palemoon 64 bit for the game client, meter is a tad smoother, hitting more dings too.
Thanks Icon, I was having some trouble with stability, so I went for it. Happy so far.
I am hoping it helps with the disconnections in multi player. If anyone tries the new flash in A/S & gets to finish a few please let us know.
