    Gigabit Ethernet only

    It installed on my G4/400. It's single-processor, but it's Gigabit Ethernet, which has the same ROM as the MP machines.

    I have yet to notice any difference. Of course, if the point is stability, that's a good thing.

    What it does

    This update fixes an annoying habit of Dual G4's to stop responding to the keypress event or the click event. It only happens when the dual G4's are combined with the Apple Pro Mouse. If you do not have 2 processors or the Pro Mouse then don't worry about it. If you do then I strongly recommend updating as soon as possible. My machine would crash 3 or 4 times a day until I installed this and now it has not crashed in a day and a half.
