MEX4ERIC  Worked like a charm. You must load this first before the SMC update.

WIZZARD1  It is not noted in any of the documentation that this does not apply to a MACBOOK2,1. I have a macbook, 2 gig dual core and the update is not for it. This update is not for machook 2006 or early 2007; only from later 2007 and forward. it would be nice if this was documented.

MACGUY7  After installing the firmware update, my USB ports are now extremely slow. Printing a color page takes 20 minutes... scanning fails... and my TV Mini HD device won't even start up.

WFM  I just applied this to my 2.16Ghz and it works fine after. Seems to be a tiny bit snappier.
