iMac update for non ATI 4850 iMacs??

[bindigok]

Has any one who does not have the ATI 4850 upgrade run software update and installed the update? My iMac wants me to, but I don't have any problems right now. I've never put my computer to sleep while in Boot camp, and never need to anyway. Anyone else tried it yet?

I started a new thread b/c I don't want to clutter up the threads just for 4850 folks.

I have the GT130 and I just ran software update and I have the 4850 update too..

Should I install it ? Is it recommended to do so??

Thanks for the info!

I just installed it on my GT 120 because it resolves more issues than the 4850 freezing. Worked fine.

Ok, Just ran a Time Machine Backup, and here I go.

DON'T DO IT! It messes everything up. It didn't even install fully before my system froze and I had to restart. I lost my Windows partition, and things are slow and sluggish now. I will restore with Time Machine first thing tomorrow, then have to contact Apple. Also have to contact Apple to get a 4th keyboard replacement b/c the right arrow key does not work; oh and a replacement Wireless Mouse because it doesn't scroll to the left (2 issues not related to this update, but a lot to contact Apple about).

How do you know your system froze? Mine went just fine.

....you're not having any luck.

I just installed and had no problems at all. Everything works perfectly.

after I hit install in software update, the beachball just froze, nothing happened, 10 min later I rebooted. That's when my Windows boot disappeared, Parallels can't even find it. Things are slow and sluggish.
