2004–09November 16, 2007Dana BaggettReviews
Apple released iMac Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 and it is available via Software Update or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page. According to Apple,

This update is for 20-inch and 24-inch aluminum iMac computers with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics running Mac OS X 10.4.10 with iMac Software Update 1.2.1 or Leopard with iMac Software Update 1.3.

It updates the graphics firmware on the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro to improve system stability.

We installed the firmware update on our 24" 2.8GHz aluminum iMac Core 2 Duo running Leopard with no problems. We weren't having the screen freeze issue before installing the update and no issues were encountered since installing it. [Dana Baggett]
