Post your comments for Apple posts graphics firmware update for iMacs here

[tallscot]

Still need an update for the nVidia 8800 on the Mac Pros. It's still slower than the base 2600 in the Apple pro apps.

Specifically to Motion. Or is there something else you're referring to?

[tallscot]

Yes, Motion, and anything that uses CoreImage, like Imaginator:

Compressor uses CoreImage to render Motion project files. You use Compressor to do a batch of Motion project files instead of one at a time.

Final Cut Pro is using CoreImage more, IIRC.

Aperture is too, isn't it?

How about putting the processor type in the headline. There are G3, G4, G5 and Intel iMacs.
Thanks.

I too have an Aluminum iMac with an ATI?s Radeon HD 2600 Pro card and the ROM is 113-B2250F-212 but the installer says I don't need this update, what gives?

[Hawaiian_Starman]

Nothing conclusive. Might be an Installer bug. Perhaps Apple will clarify things tomorrow.
