    yay, going to install tonight

    just about an hour to download and install, likely another hour of testing, and I'l see how much of a difference it makes.

    my GeForce 8800 in my MacPro was suffering from an issue where the game would run ok, but would suddenly get choppy when loading a new game, or the in-game 3D cinematics. When this happened, it would affect performance of everything else running on the MacPro.
    Normally Starcraft 2 would only use about 2 cores, and everything else I had running the other 2 cores would run just fine.

    doesn't fix all SC2 issues

    While the frame rate may be a little smoother in StarCraft 2, the one bug where after loading a single or multiplayer map, or a cut-scene (on the fly 3D) the frame rate tanks, and the entire computer slows down. To get performance back to normal you have to change resolution to any other res, then back, or exit game and load it again.
