I don't think that is any indication. When your system
POSTs, write down the BIOS ID string displayed. You may
need to press <Pause> key to have enough time, and/or
disable a logo screen to see that ID string. It may contain
the actual version string within it, or at least allow a
Google search or at worse, looking at some bios with hex
editor to see which strings are contained therein (but it's
rare to have to do this latter method).
