  1. Tastes great on my Al Pb 17" 1.33 GHz machine by davester666 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Installed and booted no problem. Ran Verify Disk Permission and it didn't report any problems

    I did notice that 'browsing' for network volumes now results in the mounted network volumes also showing up on the desktop.

  2. as the article stated, video card drivers udpated by ClaytonianG · · Score: 5, Informative

    For anyone wondering if this update fixed the the numerous video card problems that came with 10.3.0-10.3.1 the answer is a resounding YES!

    I can personally verify that the xclaim vr pro is once again working and the rage 128 continues to work. I've also read on the apple discussion boards that this update fixes the nasty 256 MB problem with certain nvidia cards. All in all it seems to restore functionality of all the video cards that were suppose to be supported in 10.3 to begin with. :)

    yay, I am back to two monitor goodness!

  3. Re:Fan... by mj_1903 · · Score: 5, Informative
    Same here. The fan is kicking in at around 20 degress lower on my 15" PowerBook but it seems to have a new speed setting. Usually when the fan came on before it was at full speed, this new setting is rather lower and IMHO the machine is feeling cooler to the touch in normal use.

    Hope this is actually Apple doing some adjustments to the hardware because they are always welcome.

    On a side note, my PowerBook's battery now properly reports the Ah as being 4200 rather than previously 2900. This is a welcome change.

    Shares are troublesome on my iBook if stored in favourites as "smb://sharename/" but work perfectly as "cifs://sharename/" - have you tried using both variants?

  6. Updated and running fine. by ITR81 · · Score: 4, Informative
    Rebooted fixed permissions and rebooted again.

    Boot up time for me is the exact same or so small I can't tell the difference.

    iPhoto, iTunes and the rest of the iApps load alot quicker.

    Able to find all our windows server and connect to it.

    All items in the dock only bounce about twice now.

    OpenGL effects in iTunes now run at 30 FPS almost constantly now. Before the highest it would go would be 28 FPS and it wouldn't even stay there very long.

    The sleep light now tends to not breath as deeply when and in sleep mode. It also has dimmed abit as well.

    Can't tell you about the fan or email yet. My email server won't authinecate and I haven't got off my PB long enough to allow it cool down to test the fan.

    Very good update.
