The update requires Mac OS X 10.5.8, Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later to install and run.
As always, if you’ve tried the new firmware and have any feedback to offer, please let us know in the comments.

This update works. I was getting pretty annoyed too. I had my display and motherboard replaced and the flicker was still there. Now it has been resolved. I also had an issue with my Macbook getting very hot. I think this may have solved that issue as well. I was running temps of 80C+ at times. Now it sits in the 60s.
