Brief Hands-On Report--Apple Power Mac G5 (June 2004) Firmware Update v 5.18f

2004–09November 18, 2004Dana BaggettReviews
It is out and available for download via the Software Update preference pane or as a stand-alone updater from this Apple web page. According to the skimpy, arcane documentation:

This firmware update improves system stability for your Power Mac G5 (June 2004).

We haven't noticed any stability issues with our dual 2.5 GHz Power Mac G5 but we downloaded and installed the firmware update anyway with no problems. In several hours of use we notice no difference. We wonder what was corrected. [Dana Baggett]
