Urk, an OS downgrade would be tricky for me - i'm doing iPhone dev for work, and I think I need 10.5.7 to run iTunes 8.2, to run the right iPhone SDK... > I also found some web article shows that Apple stopped distributing > the nVidia driver update after several days from its release due to > tons of complaints. Of this is true, it can be the key to explain the > different situation between Jari and us. Or possibly it only affects 7xxx generation nVidia chips, and Jari's 8600 is a separate module/sub-module. I don't know enough about nVidia's driver architecture to guess that, though. I could be lazy and use this as an excuse to buy a Radeon 3870 (or 4870 if I'm feeling rich!). But in general nVidia has been better to me than Ati ... though at the moment, on Mac, I would tend to agree Ati is looking in better shape.
