Apple Posts Software Update for ATI Chipset

Apple posted a updated software drivers for owners of any Macintosh with a built-in ATI Rage Pro or ATI Rage 128 chipset. This means that owners of Revision B/C/D iMacs and the Blue/White Power Macintosh G3 systems should download and install the ATI Video Software Update 1.0. This update squashes the following bugs:

  • A freeze when using CPUs with high processor speeds (>=400MHz) and high screen resolution (1280X1024) after heavily using offscreen graphics memory.
  • A crash when millions of colors are used with a high resolution monitor.
  • Also corrects an instance with certain third party applications where scrolling could result in a crash.
