    However ... I cannot find any documentation on what it does.

    The bios I had when I first got my 5930G was 1.21.
    There are 1.22 and 1.23 bioses available.

    Is there any documentation online on what exactly either of those newer versions support/do?

    If you are not having issues with your lappie I would recommend leaving leaving BIOS updates alone.

    Just my two cents...

    That is hardly the point of the thread.
    I was only asking if anyone has any info on the documentation of what the newest bios version does exactly.

    For now I don't have plans on updating the bios ... but I am planning on doing some upgrades over the next month or two, and having a latest bios might provide useful.

    It was not an interference per see.
    I am fully aware of the fact it's not necessary to mess with the bios unless needed.
    I just wanted to point out I asked a different kind of question.
    :)
