I have the following graphics card in my iMac Intel 2.4GHz 20" which this update is for but guess what it won't install no matter what I try.

These are the specs for my graphics card and not the firmware version

ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro:

Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2600
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x9583
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-B2250F-212
EFI Driver Version: 01.00.212

The firmware update should be able to update to this firmware version

ROM Revision: 113-B2250L-259

Now one of the main issues is the extremely limited info on which iMac Intel models this for and why the hell when the people I have seen posts for elsewhere cannot update to this firmware.

Apple needs to be more open on which models these updates are for so people know if they need to install or not.

At least for me and more than likely others I am on 10.5.2 and have the graphics card required.

This is just another one of apples screw up updates.

Or you could chill the eff out and accept that your iMac doesn't need it. :)

I have been told by apple that my iMac does require the update after a lenthy call to them.

I am awaiting what I need to do to make it work.

I have graphics issues since the leopard graphics update similar to other people

The main issue is there is no proper info from Apple on what imac models this is for which is a must and should be there.
