Thanks Jord, but I'm afraid that change is not quite correct, for a 
couple of reasons.  I've edited the wiki some more to try to help 
ease the confusion.

First, the NVIDIA web site says that for the current version 3.0 of 
the Mac drivers require Mac OS X version 10.5.6 or later (which is 
Darwin 9.6.0 or later): 
<http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/3_0/docs/GettingStartedMacOS.pdf>

The older NVIDIA driver version 2.3 supports Mac version OS X 10.5.2 
(Darwin 9.2.0) or later, but for clarity I didn't include that 
information on the Wiki page.  Anyone running OS 10.5 should have 
upgraded to OS X 10.5.8, which is a free update.  And people 
installing the CUDA drivers for the first time on Windows or Linux 
should get the newest drivers.

Second, those changes have confused the Darwin version with the OS X 
version.  BOINC doesn't support OS X 10.3.0, and Intel Macs don't run 
on OS X 10.3.x at all.

As I tried to explain before:
OS X 10.6.3 = Darwin 10.3.0
OS X 10.5.8 = Darwin 9.8.0
OS X 10.4.11 = Darwin 8.11.0
OS X 10.3.9 = Darwin 7.9.0

In general:
  - Darwin version 10.x.y corresponds to OS 10.6.x
  - Darwin version 9.x.y corresponds to OS 10.5.x
  - Darwin version 8.x.y corresponds to OS 10.4.x
  - Darwin version 7.x.y corresponds to OS 10.3.x

The third part of the Darwin version number should be ignored; as far 
as I have seen, it is always zero.
