So the new 10.5.3 update is out and it supposedly totes a lot of graphics driver updates and fixes. I'm keen to see what this means for Crossover. I'll take a plunge and see how things run with the new update and post back.

I don't know about anyone else, but on my Macbook w/ 8600M 256MB I think I have a drop in performance, it seems to be slightly choppier. I'm not sure what it is, but post up if you've noticed any changes. Maybe it's not due to the update.

oh man, I am having a horrible time with this. I upgraded to 10.5.3 about 3 weeks ago (yes, quite late, i was on a vacation before that), and noticed this choppiness, i averaged 60 fps before in hectic battle situations, not im down to about 10-20. whenever anyone shoots at me, i loose about 20 fps. it's horrible, I really cant play with this. so i tried 10.5.4, no better. i want to go back to 10.5.2, but have heard that redownloading the os from the disk may cause problems. my original plan was to simply back up the mb and use the disk to reinstall 10.5.2, any suggestions?

What are your thoughts on this now? I know I had an FPS drop in the Intel Mac version of World Of Warcraft. I was getting 60 fps consistent now I get 15-30. Freaking Apple botches the graphics drivers more and more with each update.
