Macbook Pro Video Update 1.0

[Dragonforce]

Should we be worried?

Just showed up in my software update. It's about 50 MB.

Apple has determined that a small number of MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) computers may intermittently freeze or stop displaying video on the built-in display or on an external display connected to the MacBook Pro. In this situation, you may also see a restart warning message before the video is lost or the display turns black or gray. Affected computers were manufactured between April 2010 and February 2011.

Apple will service affected 15-inch MacBook Pro computers free of charge until two years from date of purchase. Apple will provide further extensions to this program as needed. This worldwide Apple program does not extend the standard warranty coverage of the affected MacBook Pro.

Seems to work fine.

I just updated mine. It seems to improve my video performance under Lion. I posted a thread here about 2 days ago complaining about Skype's video call performance in my 2.66 Ghz i7 MBP. But now I don't see any lags or slowdowns at all after the update. I don't know about you guys but it seems to work fine for me.

Why Lion only?

I looked inside the update: New graphics drivers and OpenCL components.
Would I be able to install it on 10.6 using Pacifist? Anybody brave enough to try and report back?

I noticed you said OpenCL components...

Will this improve anything on the 2010 2.4GHz 13" MBP with the 320M?
