Apple Fixes iMac Freezing Issue

Jimmy 2004 · Nov 2, 2007

After reports early last month of Apple's latest iMacs experiencing random freezes linked to the Radeon HD drivers used by the machines, Apple has released a patch which should fix the problem. It is recommended for all 20" and 24" iMacs using 2GHz, 2.4GHz or 2.8GHz processors, with separate downloads available for both OS X Tiger and the new OS X Leopard.
