Answer by Puttabong:
Because of EFI one uses the stock kexts and kernel,
and because of these you can use the System Updater without any problems.

I hope this is true, because anytime I update, my system comes to a hault, and I need to reinstall the O/S. I find the Marvin Utility oddly compiled.
you need this after update! (2007-009 for amd)

do this - boot with F8 and -s:
cd /patches
./patcher ./cpuid.txt
done - reboot
now you have the update 2007-009 and you can run it on mac-amd. for amd you need to patch a lot of thins with marvins patcher
I'm going to go ahead and try Marvin's Utility for once. The best time to proceed is when 10.5.2 comes out. Eventually, I would need to reinstall everything all over again.
@xan
have you tried this yourself are are you simply reposting what the wiki has given you info on?

as far as i know, stock kernel only works for intel cpus?
