SWORDFISH  1.4.0.49 is the official "Stable" version.

1.5.0.61 "Video preview" is a beta version with video chat preview.

1.5.0.75 is the latest beta version. It looks like the video chat function was pulled. Maybe there was a critical bug or the function needed more work.

Apple iMac SMC Firmware Update
May 16 2006

TIMBO13  Taken from: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303725%94

"The SMC Firmware Update 1.0 is a System Management Control (SMC) firmware update for certain Intel-based computers, including iMac (Early 2006), Mac mini (Early 2006) and MacBook Pro (15-inch) computers..."

So it looks like the update effects the "behind the scenes" management of the machines. Perhaps affecting thermal/power management? I would be very interested in the results users have after this update.
