    It won't install for me, whether I uninstall the previous version or not. 10.4 is the newest that works.

    The 10.6 drivers installed easily and automatically over the prior (10.5) driver set without uninstalling anything and have operated flawlessly so far. I can't tell much difference. 3dMark06 score was up about 60-75 points, with Vantage unchanged; however, my benchmark results are variable and the 10.6 results could have been caused by other factors. No game experience or benchmarks yet.

    Ya, I got it working now. Crysis is no real change either.

    Can't see a change. I don't run benches however.

    Well, I uninstalled 10.5 and installed 10.6; the games I have work properly
    1.) GTA 4 and EFLC
    2.) NBA 2K10
    3.) Dirt 2
    4.) Pro Evo 2010

    Definitely no decrease in performance on any of these but not sure if there's a noticeable improvement.
