I think it's the data from the VGA BIOS. Maybe we should compare the
versions from the 1. and 2. MBP revisions...
I attached a little script for dumping the VGA BIOS, to examine it:

> md5sum saved_vgabios.bin
Here are my VGA BIOS specs (MBP second generation):

md5sum seems to be the same as Michael Gangolf's. I have a 15" MBP C2D.
