MacBookPro fix for Second Life at long last?
Mac users in Second Life on some variations of MacBookPros (and occasionally other machines) have been having a rather torrid time - the graphics card drivers haven't been good and Second Life freezes every twenty minutes or so.
Despite the pre-release causing problems it appears that the 10.5.2 release (yesterday) and the later graphics update have fixed this problem. My G5 doesn't show a dramatic increase in speed in Second Life, unlike the increases reported on WOW Insider and TUAW for World of Warcraft with 10.5.2, but is running about 5% faster in the places I know and test regularly. People on newer machines are reporting bigger increases in speed as well as improved stability. About time too!
[For the biologists out there, I know it's a cheetah, not a leopard, but finding good images of fast moving leopards is hard!]
