Getting a Firmware report...?

Does anyone know of any application that will yield a firmware log/print out of my machine? I want to compare 2 virtually identical laptops, however they were delivered a few months apart and 1 set has a problem. I am trying to find out if the newer and problem free laptops have had a firmware upgrade or even a driver upgrade before delivery.

(Would sandra or something like this give me what I want?)

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

There'd be many firmware chips on a laptop.... Which one do you mean?

If you are referring to the BIOS, then you can use a tool used for BIOS flash/upgrading. AMI and Award BIOS tools exist in graphical/windows form, and you can use it to save surrent BIOS to .BIN form (not more than 512 KB, normally). Then, do a binary or hex compare.

You'd get the tools on your laptop's bundled CDs (or find out the make of your BIOS and get it from a similar desktop PC's bundle, or download).
