Not sure. I guess you are referring to the BIOS signatures. Actually I just noted that the version number I gave above is INCORRECT. That is the number shown on the Samsung NL site, but that version is dated 6 March 2012 (Twelve) so is an old version. The Samsung Windows update tool, however, did install an updated BIOS yesterday evening which does not yet show on the site, as well as updates for Windows from NVidia and wireless drivers.

Currently in the process of backing some stuff up, but looking in the Windows Registry (start regedit.exe, look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DESCRIPTION/System/BIOS) the BIOS shows as:

BIOSVersion: P05ABJ,
BIOSReleaseDate 9 March 2013,

BIOSVendor Phoenix Technologies,
SystemFamilly ChiefRiver System,

SytemProductName 700Z3C/700Z5C,

SystemVersion 0.1.

I guess the BIOS release date may be the better indicator whether you are up to date, as the BIOS identifiers seem to be different than those mentioned above which may be due to subversions for different markets or something like that.
