LSD: there was *NO* intel firmware update that appeared at the top during the last two bios flashes (F8B and F8C) on the UD5. Unless it "silently" flashed it or something. Are you sure there was a ME update for the ud5/ud7 boards? I think it was only assumed there was, since there was one for the Z68 boards.

BTW any changelog on the bioses stasio just posted? Pretty quick for another beta (just 4 days?)
