These are the same old drivers. Just changed to accept install from 10.6.7. Same drivers as in the tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update.

Bummer. Was hoping they'd cure my graphics weirdness. I actually installed them (Pacifist) but of course frame rates are the same... and what's more, my window minimize to dock, etc is quite slow.

Do I need NVEnabler (I have GraphicsEnabler = Yes)?

Tried it but it caused kernel panic on boot.
Not sure what's going on - feels like a conflict with the new kernel and something else. If I drag my cursor I can see that the window lags behind a bit. But this goes away if I safe boot.

remove the AppleTyMCEDriver.kext from system/extensions to avoid kernel panic.
