Where's the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT update?
Mine is running a bit wonky...and I have seen data on MacFixIt that suggests it's running slower on the Mac than the base card.
:-(

The Leopard Graphics update totally hosed DVD Player on my 12" powerbook. There are several threads about this on the Apple Forums. I had to do an archive and install, update back to 10.5.2 and not dl the graphics update to get it back up and running again.

When's Apple going to fix that?

@what about...

I'm not sure, but as a G4 powerbook owner myself I'm guessing that updates for the 12" powerbook are pretty far down the list at Apple these days.

I have a 12" and have the same problem; this is still the best small laptop Apple has ever made because of its screen size, 4:3 ratio, full features and interchangeable battery. It's still ideal for travel. It is not obsolete and Apple is doubtless working on a fix as a matter of priority: just another Leopard bug to address, but a particularly annoying and embarrassing one, all the more reason to deal with it.
I recently got another 12" because my daughter wanted a replacement after her machine was stolen in Saigon, and she didn't want a 13" MacBook: she prefers the smaller screen. Fortunately she is running Tiger, and won't be upgrading to Leopard until this is fixed.

Wow, haven't even tried the DVD player on my 12" since the update.

My 12" doesn't have a DVD player, but it does have a very hard drive.
