Latest BIOS update CD has "Update model number" menu item.

What does it do and what is it for?

Yes, BIOS update CD - you have to use CD if you have Vista 64 & 32 installed.

Search for "bootable" here:

OK, so the BIOS update file is put onto a bootable CD and the downloadable BIOS file has the model number update option. That makes sense now.
