Second Life fine under Leopard, but MBP-nVidia problem survives

Word has been gradually seeping through the various mac user groups in Second Life saying that Leopard runs SL stably - with the usual provisos that some prefer various other clients (the Nicholaz-s patch from Barney Boomslang is my firm favourite, there are those who love the OnRez client too). My copy of Leopard arrived today, so it was with some anticipation I installed it and fired up SL - including the new Release Candidate.

I'm happy to add my support to SL under Leopard on just about every type of machine - and like many users I'm seeing an appreciable rise in fps, of about 25%. The only cautionary note - the issue with the nVidia graphics cards in Mac Book Pros still lingers. Hopefully soon!
