But there are actually quite a few other differences throughout the file, which surprises me a litte. Lots of differences in the various northbridge entries, and even the network cards and the sata controller. Is this normal?
A followup on this. First of all, I didn't realize that the PCI configuration space is dynamic - things change all the time.
Its probably some timer that counts there. This kind of thing almost requires having the datasheet sitting in another window or printed out next to you.
Also, I missed one byte that IS consistently different after a boot with the proprietary BIOS:
