Just a heads up for those running Leopard. Once installed, there is a further graphics update.

Just in time!  I am getting my copy today.  This does take care of the Wifi problem, I hope.

I never had any issues, but per Apple:

AirPort

    * Improves connection reliability and stability
    * Includes 802.1X improvements.
    * Resolves certain kernel panics.

I have the 9C31 build.  It also comes with keyboard firmware upgrade.  No issues on my MacBookPro.  So far so good!

It looks like the video is more responsive.   Maybe I just want to feel it. 

Placebo effect?  Can someone confirm!

I may be wrong, but I think the 'graphics' upgrade had more to do with tweakability of the interface (eg. translucent menu bar) than performance. Personally, I haven't noticed any performance enhancements.

Off the top of my head: the Desktop Preferences has been modified, and the stacks menus have changed.

One of the biggies imho is the option to disable the ill-conceived translucent menu bar. Also the dropdown menus are less translucent. Both of these changes improve legibility of key interface elements. I disabled the eye-candy 3D dock the day I installed 10.5.
