They're not high. Worrying temps would start at any of CPU: 75+ GPU: 80+ Mem: 60+ HDD: 50+ (roughly). Cheers - Jaimie -- 'Rings! Rings!

That looks more like your editor is rewrapping "intelligently" stupidly, Daniele. Cheers - Jaimie -- There are no normal people--only people you don't know very much about. -- Nancy Lebovitz, rasfw

Well, I've rolled back to 10.6.0 by installing over the top. Glitches are still there, so unless the method I've used didn't replace the graphics driver, looks like I'm screwed. And not in the nice way. Will erasing the disk and installing clean be any different to what I did?? Pete.

I haven't done comprehensive tests of reverting to an old version of Snow Leopard so I can't be certain. One way you could check would be to look at the timestamps on the ATI drivers to see when they were updated. In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/Extensions, and look for the files starting with ATI. On my 10.6.3 system they are all dated 4 March 2010. The release dates for the 10.6 minor versions were: 10.6 28 August 2009 10.6.1 10 September 2009 10.6.2 9 November 2009 10.6.3 29 March 2010 Therefore my drivers (4 March) were updated by Apple after the release of 10.6.2 and must have been included in the 10.6.3 update (the preceding security update was in January). -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz |
