new bios s96j 9/22/06

there is a new bios update on the intel site .

the update is from 9/22/2006
and the fix is : Fix identical GUID issue


can somebody explaine me what this does .
what is guid ?and does this really solve a problem or is it just a really minor thing.

What ever it is iam waiting on the bios update for the grainniness problem.but just wanted you people to know this .

 

I think GUID stands for Graphical User Interface D..... something, so this might be the update you've all been waiting for... Maybe our resellers can help a bit?

 

graphical user interface is GUI .
GUID stands for Globally Unique Identifier but dont really know what that is

 

Short for Globally Unique Identifier, a unique 128-bit number that is produced by the Windows OS or by some Windows applications to identify a particular component, application, file, database entry, and/or user. For instance, a Web site may generate a GUID and assign it to a user's browser to record and track the session. A GUID is also used in a Windows registry to identify COM DLLs. Knowing where to look in the registry and having the correct GUID yields a lot information about a COM object (i.e., information in the type library, its physical location, etc.). Windows also identifies user accounts by a username (computer/domain and username) and assigns it a GUID. Some database administrators even will use GUIDs as primary key values in databases.

Maybe you need to reinstall vid drivers after the bios update? from that explenation i dont think it would be as simple as just running the new bios. If it is a fix for the grainnies maybe reinstalling the drivers or a clean format is inorder?

 

i dont think this is a fix for the graininess
1st) it came out the 22nd
2nd) if it was a fix a reseller would has posted something about it
