bought an iMac (20 inch - last of the whites) in mid (May) 2007. I'm having issues with USB headsets and decided to look for new firmware. Found this...

Looks like my "mid 2007 purchase" iMac has "end 2006" iMac (20 inch) firmware. Confirmed it by looking at the system preferences. I am a little concerned how apple breaks up the iMac classification by mid and late and such. It's all very vague and potentially confusing.
I'd like to try to install the mid 2007 purchase firmware onto the iMac. Can I hurt the iMac by trying to install potentially "wrong" firmware? Will the computer let me install (accidentally) "wrong" firmware? I just don't want to bugger up a perfectly fine running computer except for a USB issue under windows.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
