Odd, my Software Updater doesn't pick up the iMac EFI Firmware Update 1.3 even though my iMac C2D has a Boot ROM Version of IM51.0090.B09 .... guess I'll just do a manual then ...

SoftWare update gets the firmware just for the Macs they were intended for. The firmware download will not work if the firmware is not for your Mac.
