You don't get a different IP every time you boot unless you boot once after the IP release. Usually, you try to renew your lease halfway through the lease to keep the possibility of it expiring when you still need it to an absolute minimum, and doesn't get flushed back into the released pool for usually twice the lease interval. If you're wondering how DHCP identifies your machine to tell it's the same: your NIC's MAC address. - -- .''`.
