Brief Hands-On Report--Apple released iMac MXM Update 1.0
The iMac MXM Update improves video compatibility with Boot Camp on certain 24" iMac models.
It fixes this issue:
Some iMac (Late 2006 24-inch) computers may display a black screen when booting from the Windows XP installer CD, instead of the standard blue installation screen. The computer will respond to the correct setup key presses and continue the installation even though the built-in display has no video.
We downloaded and installed the update from the stand-alone file. Software Update didn't find it, possibly because we do not have Boot Camp installed. No issues were noted otherwise during several hours use. [Bill Fox]
