Brief Hands-On Report--Apple released MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0 with Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT Drivers
Apple released Macbook Pro Software Update 1.0 for 2.2/2.4 GHz MacBook Pros. It is available via Software Update for those affected models or as a stand-alone file from this Apple Web page.
According to the Read Me file,
This update provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pro models.
We downloaded and installed the update on our 15" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro C2D-LED. After a restart, we encountered no problems during brief use.
Update: The primary contents of this Software Update 1.0 are new Nvidia drivers explicitly for the new Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor included with the newest MacBook Pros. Hopefully, these new drivers significantly improve the poor OpenGL performance that we noted in our previous review. [Bill Fox]
