"*Updated Microcode for security issue.
*Improved system performance and stability.
*Improved DRAM compatibility.
*Update ME FW for security issue.
Sucks that I have to flash the bios in order to get the microcode since MS is really behind on releasing the updates via the windows update route. I preferred doing my own ME, and microcode because I hate doing bios updates if it aint broke. Still, the CSME version detection tool shows me as not vulnerable, but that may not even consider microcode. not sure. Latest version of the CSME tool on intel site is from june too, so there could be more to come.
