Apple fixes uni-proc G5s
Apple on Tuesday finally , providing a few workarounds, and promising development of a longer-term solution. Apple's new firmware update, designed only for the 1.8GHz, (600 MHz bus), single-processor Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) computer, appears to resolve many of these issues.
Yay!

The fan issues probably will be dealt with in...6 months after two revisions of OS X.

I've had a dual 2.5 since June and I haven't noticed a problem with the fans.

Geesh, we all know Apple worked hard to fix this issue, and as they do with any issues with OS X or any of their apps, they quickly provide a fix that solves the problem. Not like MS, who never fix anything and leave thousands of bugs in their software...
Well, at least that's what everyone says when someone complains about security issues with OS X or apps. Its always "They fix problems quickly". Actually, its more like "They fix problems that they 'feel like fixing' quickly". The rest are when they're not 'too busy' s******* up another application, or deciding to make useless and pointless changes to the software just to make it seem like they're doing something.
Oh, no problem with my 2.3 Dual and the fans, either. So I'll take another chapter from the mac-head support manual and claim then that its not apple's fault, it must be how you've set up the computer.
