Well as i mentioned a few months ago, the work-around is well known to me since march 2005, it was always my personal default setting, and it didnt prevent the freeze.
I agree its good to see they agree in public all the errors are true, but it means also Apple can still not provide a specific date when the update will be available!
It seems to be clear for me, a update for it isn't around the corner, else they would have said a supposed release date and they didnt say will it be a Firmware or the Tiger 10.4.3 Update.
But it means for me, the PowerMac G5 2,0 DP is my property on Friday after Midnight. :rolleyes:
I hope for you and all others that you can get an Dual G5 Mac as replacement too, in case they can not offer a Bugfix. Who knows, maybe a new G5 2.3

Apple grants series errors with the Power Mac G5
The last G5-Macs with 1,8-GHz-Single-Prozessor and 600 MHz system bus clock of Apple suffers from puzzling freezing and waking up problems under Mac OS X 10,4 (c't reported in the number 16/2005).
The computers refuse the service after two hours of period of operation with certain actions such as Full screen video or 3D-Games and can neither with mouse nor keyboard be served.
Many concerning had announced themselves on the Website G5Freeze.com, but so far each fundamental statement to the problem was refused by Apple. Also an inquiry c't remained unanswered. Obviously since 28 September now one is on 26 August dated support side with Apple the USA attainable, which confirms the error. On an update on the part of the Apple developers one work, one time for the publication is however yet to be foreseen. As reasonable remedy Apple recommends a switching of the state of rest and the automatic energy saving of the processor off. Whom constantly its Single-G5 under tigers freezes, that can naturally also under Panther (10,3.) work, if the computer thereby was delivered.
