Apple release firmware update to quieten fan noise

yes 1.the firmware only loads from OSX 2. it crashed 3 times here 3. after finally installing itself, it told me I already had a newer version on my brandnew G4 DP 867 with the new bootrom version $0004.48f2

Digi Tech Support, Do we need to wait before running this firmware update? I see it's available from the Software Update Control Panel running OS 9.2.2. I've got a "Mirrored-Door" Dual 1.0Ghz.

I installed the firmware 4.4.8 update to no avail. Anyone have success with this? The "wind tunnel" is still annoying the hell out of me. The update made no difference.

By the way. I am using G4 867 MDD.

Hi, I installed the firmware update 4.4.8 released right after thanksgiving and it helped my dual 1ghz mirror door purchased last september. The fan is still noticable, but there's no loud (vacuum-like) start and stop, it just runs consistently at a lower level. It used to shut off and then kick on at a very high/loud level, and now it doesn't. I don't remember how I did it other than following the read-me file's instructions and being successful on the first attempt. good luck!
