This firmware description says it's for "all MacBook models," but in the "What's new in this version" section it says "This update improves the performance and reliability of Intel Core 2 Duo processors..." So which is it? Will it work with my wife's Core Duo MacBook, or only with the Core 2 Duo models? Apple is really getting sloppy.

For MacBook (Late 2008) models.
Version: 1.3
Is it for Core Duo or not? Confusing listing.

At <http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookefifirmwareupdate11.html> it says: About MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.1This update improves the performance and reliability of Intel Core 2 Duo processors and fixes issues with Boot Camp for MacBook computers.
After the firmware is successfully applied to your computer, your BootROM Version will be:
MB21.00A5.B07
You can confirm the version of the BootROM installed on your computer using System Profiler."
After going through, carefully and successfully, the firmware application process, I got an on-screen message, more or less: "The firmware of your computer has been successfully updated with EFI Firmware Update 1.1. And in System profiler, it shows: " oot ROM Version:MB21.00A5.B07". So, no complaints here.

Let's clear this up, it will not install if your computer ain't supported by it unless you hacked it up or something. Also, EFI updates show up in Apple Software Update so if you updated to OS X 10.4.10 and this didn't show up, I am 99.9% positive you don't need this.Friday, October 19 2007 @ 05:27 PM PDT

Because every one of your worthless comments ends with some crap about how Apple is the worst thing in the history of the universe.If you don't like it, buy a PC, get a million viruses and join the legions of Windoze idiots. They'd be glad to have you. If you have constructive comments to make, try to make them without ending on "Apple is seriously losing it" or some other pointless garbage.
P.S you are a massive idiot.
