Good grief people, read the instructions. In order to install this update you need either the HD2400 card or the HD2600 Pro, AND OSX ver. 10.5.2 or higher. If Software Update tells you that you don't need it, then you don't need it.

Pretty simple really.

Rich : Actually, that's the problem. I have the HD2600 Pro card according to System Profiler and I am running Leopard 10.5.2 and the update still won't install. I think this is where people are coming from. We meet the stated requirements BUT it still won't install. If there are other requirements and Apple published them, then we would all be able to see that we don't need the update. But as of now, some of us both meet all the requirements and can't get the update to install. That's why we're not chillin'! Sometimes it really isn't just stupidity, though you are right that it often is. We'll accept our apologies now. :)

:p My most sincere apologies Allan and all. As the poster above yours said, there is indeed more to it. My bad.
BTW, I didn't need it either:)

Rich :cool:

Well I think Rich is right because if you read a previous post above it looks like the update is only for specific ATI ROM versions in Intel iMacs with a 2400xt or 2600 pro and Leopard 10.5.2.

So if it won't install then you don't need it. :p
 
I did some serious digging into the updater and found that is is more than likely only required for imacs early 2008 onwards with Model Identifier: iMac8,1

This would place the new imacs into the update class.

I am still waiting to hear back from apple about my question concerning the update.
