10.6.5 definitely won't have support for the new MacBook Pros, so if you do reinstall then you should use the disc that came with the computer. Even 10.6.6 from Software Update didn't have support for the new MacBook Pros. They are different build numbers, meaning they are very minor differences (drivers for the new MacBook Pros).
