The June 2005 ROM installer provides the ability to revert to the original ROM for the RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION. The ROM Update installer provides this downgrade option at setup. Safe Boot is required to use this ROM Update. Hold shift during boot to Safe Boot. The computer MUST NOT be interrupted (shut down or power failure) during firmware update.

What's New:
ROM Version 109 (this release) fixes a rare occurence of corruption or hang for a few specific instances.
Added built-in Firmware Fan control - Fan control has been implemented within the card's firmware to maintain full fan control with or without the presence of the ATI ROM Xtender file. This update is recommended for all RADEON X800 XT MAC EDITION cards. Previous reports documented the loss of fan control after accidentally losing the ATI ROM Xtender in the System's Extension folder. With this update, fan control is enabled early in the boot process and maintained with or without this extension file present. To re-install the extension file, simply run the original RADEON X800 MAC EDITION installation CD, this update or a newer ATI web released driver update.

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.3.5 or later
Retail RADEON X800 XT Mac EDITION.
