I see new graphics drivers listed in the changes for 10.4.2. Now that it's out, anyone got any details of gaming effects?

guess I'll go try out those slow bits of KotOR, just for fun.

Las I heard 10.4.2 wasn't going to fix the VBO issues but instead fix the crashing that occurs on the unknown planet's beach when using ATI cards.

VBO=mighty annoying
crashing=game stopping

so, better than nothing, I guess.

"payed 1/4 for his xbox what you did for your g5 and had KotOR before you"  

Hey what do the new drivers do for doom? Can I play Doom 3 on my laptop yet?

Actually, you have no clue how much I paid for my stuff.  Let's just say your 1/4 of the price is off.

Plus, my G5 runs OS X.  Your Xbox doesn't.  I also have an Xbox.  I bought the Xbox version of KotOR on a preorder and received it before it arrived in stores.

so you paid like 200 bucks for your G5? well I need to start shopping were you do!
By the way I also pre ordered my KotOR and George Lucas brought it to me along with a Pizza!

No it isn't.

Perhaps I should remain sober enough to download 10.4.2.

[Space_Pirate_Killer]

It adds a new widget. Widget manager.

Wow, I really use my widgets a lot! (not)
Perhaps this is a good time to start using wedgies more.

OK, so, consensus opinion: does this patch make Tiger stable/app friendly-enough to leave the comfortable domain of 10.3.9?
