Small Steam boost details for nVidia users.
10.6.5 download
10.6.5 combo download

Since yesterday's release of Mac OS X 10.6.5, users have been testing out the updated version of Snow Leopard to find out what has changed, and we've collected a few notes on what has been found.

- exFAT Support: Apple began including support for the exFAT file system in builds of Mac OS X 10.6.4 shipping on some of the company's latest iMacs and Mac minis with SDXC card slots, but Mac OS X 10.6.5 extends compatibility to all Macs.

- AirPrint: As had been rumored, Apple at the last minute removed support for printing via AirPrint from iOS 4.2 devices to printers shared on Macs running Mac OS X 10.6.5. The feature had been touted by Apple in its initial AirPrint press release and was present in early developer builds of Mac OS X 10.6.5, but was removed for unspecified reasons. Note that the basic AirPrint functionality, including direct printing to compatible HP printers, is included in Mac OS X 10.6.5.

We've heard claims of technical or legal/patent issues being behind the removal of support for shared printers, but have not received confirmation of any single reason for the change. Notably, those developers who installed earlier developer builds of Mac OS X 10.6.5 have retained access to the shared printing feature even with the public release, and one developer has outlined a process by which users can add the capability.

- Flash Player Vulnerabilities Fixed: Apple's attempts to distance itself from Adobe's Flash technology are well-known, and the list of security issues addressed in Mac OS X 10.6.5 is only adding fuel to that fire. Of a massive 134 security issues addressed in the update, 41% of them are directly attributable to Flash, the largest single source of security holes patched in the update. The second largest source of security flaws patched in Mac OS X 10.6.5 is X11, the optional install that allows Macs to run certain windowed Unix applications, with 12% of the total fixes.

680.1mb for me.

Want to wait for the combo update but I've been waiting for this update for far too long to wait for that now! Just going to get the software update version.

This is a huge patch!
 
I'm going to do an OpenGL test before I do the update, to see if there are any differences :p

Apparently, iTunes 10.1 is arriving today also. :o I shall keep refreshing my software update :D

Thanks for posting the benchmarks for us knowledge123 :)
Regarding iTunes, I believe that is out on Friday.

EDIT: iOS 4.2 is Friday, iTunes might be today as you stated!
 
Thanks for the heads up! but for a minute I thought this was a mega old thread of the last update, I was thinking 10.6.6 was due immediately! :p

No problem, glad to help :) I just realised you can drop down the 'cube' setting and pick some more stressing ones. I should have done that as well, maybe next time :p

Only way to find out is to keep hitting Software Update every few moments :D I have no idea what 10.1 will change, though :o

I swear my startup bong has been replaced by a jingle upon installing this on my uMacbook!
 
Just did a benchmark with the same settings as above. This is on the 9600M GT.

What's strange is my 2.0 test. It's much lower than the rest and lower than the 9400M above. Weird.

EDIT - I must have a old version of the tester.

EDIT 2 - Just downloaded the latest version and the last test is more like the others now.
