Intel Mac firmware update
Apple yesterday released Intel Mac firmware updates as well as Bonjour 1.03 for Windows, In addition to the Java security update for Tiger. The v.101 Intel Mac firmware updates are available for the Mac mini, iMac Core Duo, and MacBook Pro. Apple says the new Intel-based Macs now run localized systems that use languages that read right to left. Apple also updated the Windows version of Bonjour 1.03, its zero-configuration networking protocol that enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. Version 1.03 is recommended for all Bonjour users to improve usability and compatibility and also improves start up performance of Bonjour on Windows platforms, according to Apple.
for who is it?

so is this only for those that couldn't get the first firmware update to install or should everybody use this to update even if you already updated last week?

Probably fixes Boot Camp

This firmware update probably reduces or eliminates the problems people have been having with Boot Camp. The last firmware update corresponded with Boot Camp's announcement, and there have since been reports of people not being able to boot back into Mac OS X after installing Windows.

I ran it today on my 2 GHz 20" iMac, and it's working just fine
