The Power Mac G5 Firmware Update improves system reliability for Power Mac G5 (June 2004) systems.
there currently is no kbase article listed in reference to this update.
Does anyone know more about this?
I do hope that this firmware update is more reliable than the 10.3.6 OS-X update. ;)
I wish apple could put out a more detailed description of this...
And 4g's worth at that, but it's fine.
Next 10.3.7...
I haven't installed this yet either, but discussion at the Apple discussion board seems to indicate that acceleration of the fans seems to be affected. That is, the fans don't seem to quickly rev up as much.
Well, that would be nice. But I think I will just wait a little longer. If there aren't any reports on "shrewd up G5s" coming in, then I'll update to see if this improves the fan-rev behavior. I could imagine that at least the "auto performance" mode could do with some less sporadic fan behavior.
Also do I need to take out aftermarket RAM before I do it?
I'm wondering if this update will fix my USB crashing problems.
Was a little scared after reading about the uni processor firmware update not liking non kingston etc ram, but I've ran hardware test four times and the memories always passed.
Useless info but it keeps my mind at rest.
Cheers
