Brief Hands-On Report--Apple released MacBook Pro Software Update 1.1
According to the Read Me file,
This update provides important bug fixes and improves stability with Motion 2 and Motion 3. It is recommended for all 2.2/2.4GHz MacBook Pro models.
We downloaded and installed the update on our 15" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo-LED via Software Update. The good news is that several of the Nvidia graphics drivers were updated from version 1.5.2 to 1.5.6. The bad news is that in several initial preliminary tests, the latest MacBook Pro with GeForce 8600M GT graphics is no faster than before and still exhibited disappointing performance on our OpenGL benchmark applications when compared with the previous MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo with ATI Radeon X1600 graphics. Look for more on performance in Macs Only!'s next edition. [Bill Fox]
