Trend-loving computer specialist Apple Inc. has this week issued its second maintenance and security update for the recently released Mac OS X operating system (a.k.a. Leopard).
Update 10.5.2 is crammed with alterations, enhancements, and improvements that apply to system features for both PowerPC Macs and Intel-based Macs.
Those looking to grab the update can secure it by accessing the Mac OS X Software Update feature, which can be found under their system’s Apple menu.
After update 10.5.2 is applied, the Software Update feature will then move on to enquire whether the user would like to install “Leopard Graphics Update 1.0,” which is a graphics driver that introduces upgrades to Macs for the sake of increased stability and compatibility with certain software programs.
