WOW. That's a lot of stuff that needs to be done. Oh well, I'll just keep what I have right now. Thanks for the info Common Sense.
Would it be possible if someone can make this into an AMD version? I would really like to try out the newest one. I have been noticing that on my screen, sometimes I see these yellow spots.

It does break the install. You have to patch the OpenGL framework with Marwin utility. If you have an nforce motherboard you also have to edit the plists of the files: NVDAResman.kext, NVDANV50HAL.kext and GEFORCE.kext and remove the device ids it contain and add your device id instead.
Are there any improvements for geforce cards, is it newer kext that we have in 10.5.2 dvd? I noticed nvinject is 0.2.1, i'd like give it a try if the newer driver improves the performance.
