    Got this update popped up in my MBP 2.2GHz (Merom) SR today.

    Before: MBP31.0070.B05
    After: MBP31.0070.B07

    The previous EFI 1.5 update didn't get installed into my machine but strangely this works.

    Haven't notice any problems with it so far (isn't any to begin with, aside from weird graphics slowdowns that seems to disappeaer with reboots).

    The one that came out (version 1.5) won't go with my machine, only this "updated" 1.5.1 version gets installed today.

    But everything seems fine after a day's use. :)

    I just did the update last night. Out of curiosity, is the EFI update the mac equivalent of a Bios update?

    I'd guess in a sense, it's pretty much the BIOS equivalent in the Mac world.

    Update on EFI 1.5.1:
    Seems to take a bit longer than usual to do a "safe sleep"/sleep+hibernate than before..
