How annoyingly confusing.

Been there, done that, got lost too, when trying to find out about
the correct BIOS versions et.al. for a X4600m2. Way too complicated.

Given that at boot time, Solaris complains

WARNING: BIOS microcode patch for AMD Athlon(tm) 64/Opteron(tm)
processor erratum 131 was not detected; updating your system's BIOS
to a version containing this microcode patch is HIGHLY recommended
or erroneous system operation may occur.

I think I probably don't want to ignore this update.

You're safe to ignore it. See the "Product Notes" for detail:

Everybody seems to trip over this message (me, too). One really shouldn't
get such a message on a new machine.
