My guess is that if it's MBP only, that it's a nVidia graphics update or Intel fix for Santa Rosa.

I just wish that they'd sort out the AirPort issues people are having..

Hmm it seems that the AP Scanner causes real issues with AirPort, my graph just see-saws until you quit the scanner. I assume the AirPort card can't scan and use the air interface at the same time.

That seems to have sorted the almost zero web transfer rate..

Next it seems there's a slow transfer rate with samba from an external server to the mac. I know samba on the server is working ok as XP on my T42 works very quickly. Also I've seen others with this same issue..

Nice article on slow samba access here

Now getting a steady 78Mbit airport transfer rate. So that looks like it's the limit of the 100Mbit copper LAN.. although airport states 130Mbit air interface.

I've read a report that someone has found a relationship between airport problems and temperature, so smcFanControl may be worth looking into.
